Space navigator completely stopped working
I bought it a while back, used it once to get used to it, plugged it in today and the blue light won't come on. Tried it in several computers and it is dead.
Using ubuntu 14.04

Hi Kd0afk,
if the device is more than two years old it is our of warranty. With very early devices the blue light is only switched on by the driver. Please send me in a PM the PID of your device.
Check if you can find the device in your system. Try the following command:
Let me know what you find out.

Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
The code returned nothing because I haven't installed the drivers yet. I had to reinstall ubuntu after it was working. I didn't know about the driver thing.
The pid is r4009081765

Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
I reinstalled the drivers and it still won't work
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
it was the drivers. Works like a charm except I dont have any way to configure it. I tried the buttons but they do nothing.
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
You should have a driver panel - called "3DxWare 1.8.0". There you have an area "Button Mapping" where you can adapt the mapping on the buttons.

Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
Where is the driver panel?
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
I can't find any panel
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
There is a folder with a bunch of files for a panel, but no way to open it. If there is, it's holding true to the spirit of Ubuntu; "Let the user search for it"
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
If the driver is started the 3Dconnexion panel is started automatically. It might be minimized. If you do not see it the driver is not running.
How did you test your device? What application did you use?

Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
I installed it from the link on the 3rd connexion site. If I didn't have the drivers installed the light wouldn't come on correct?
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
How do I start the driver? And how do I check for a minimized panel.
Re: Space navigator completely stopped working
How did you test the device? You mentioned "it is working like a charm".
Check all available windows and buttons on your panel (like the Windows taskbar).
