    1) have you rebooted yet?
    2) have you unplugged/replugged in your mouse?

        Well, this is Lucid, and...

        Reboot and enter the BIOS and look for a setting that deals with PS/2 hardware. There should be a setting that enables/disables 'legacy' support (or words to that effect). Change that setting, save and continue to boot.

          As snowhog mentioned this is lucid, thus alpha and not ready for production use.

          I can't help you on the mouse issue, my mice all behave

          ....heres another weird one I have ubuntu lucid on my second hard drive I was looking through the menu and it has kpackage kit installed I am at a loss here also
          What do you mean by:
          I just installed kubuntu lucid through apt-get
          Did you install kubuntu-desktop from your ubuntu install so that you have a choice at log in?

          If so then that would explain why you have some kde stuff in your gnome menu and vice versa.

          Or did you upgrade to Lucid from an existing Karmic Kubuntu? That could break a few things.
