deb package installation

[Francesco]

Hello,
I have a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000 (with keyboard) and have noticed the weird extra scroll. I have then swapped the mouse receiver out of the USB port and that did the trick. Then I have installed the latest deb package, but if I try to run "resetmice" this is what I get:

Checking for X.org compatibility mode on all Microsoft usb mice plugged into the system...
Vendor Id: 045E Product Id: 0745 Release: 1622
Bus: 3 Device Number: 4
Mouse interface found, interface number=1
Failed to open usb device.
Cannot open Microsoft device: insufficient permissions.
HINT: This program needs to run with root permissions!
libusb returned: -3
Failed to open mouse, skipping to next device...
Possible mouse interface found, interface number=2
Failed to open usb device.
Cannot open Microsoft device: insufficient permissions.
HINT: This program needs to run with root permissions!
libusb returned: -3

Is this the inteded behaviour?
Thanks.

Hi Francesco,

You need to run resetmsmice as root. Type:

sudo resetmsmice

You can also use the command 'su' to gain root permissions and then run resetmsmice.

You can also have resetmsmice run on startup, if you are on ubuntu run:
sudo resetmsmice-enable-boot.sh --upstart

if you are on debian run:
sudo resetmsmice-enable-boot.sh --sysv

Let me know if you need any other help!
