I have a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse (wireless), when I connect it to the computer it doesn't work.

The mouse works in other computers with Windows and with Fedora 17, but it doesn't work in two different computers with Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. Moreover these same computers work with another Microsoft wireless mouse.

So I think the combination of Logitech MX and Ubuntu doesn't play well.

The dmesg log entry looks like this:

[  578.845838] usb 3-2: Product: USB Receiver
[  578.845841] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Logitech
[  578.851625] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0009: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input2
[  578.851899] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0009: logi_dj_probe:logi_dj_recv_query_paired_devices error:-32
[  578.854518] logitech-djreceiver: probe of 0003:046D:C52B.0009 failed with error -32

Instead of the expected (taken from Fedora):
