Dabien with ubuntu: jubject: pointer, starts going all over the moniter
My pointer goes all over and is closing screens and/or opening other programs. Plus I have no control over anything when this is happening. Sometimes I can resume what I was doing but first I have to close the program/windows that it has open and/or have to open the programs it has closed. The other times; every thing freezes except, the mouse pointer, but I can't do anything with it. Can't open, close, use commands or use the standard shutdown procedure. Have to use the ctrl+alt+delete or shutdown by the power button on the computer. Can any one help me. newbie

Wierd.
Is it just random or does it seem to be moving with a purpose - I mean if it's opening/closing windows and doing stuff that sounds kindof like some scary remote administration thing. Though that's very unlikely.
Your mouse may also be broken. What happens when you unplug it?
