Thanks rokytnji - I opened stdout.log but it's
completely empty.

I am going by his ZorinOS sees it Jerry.
Knowing ZorinOS is also Ubuntu 14.04 based also.

My thoughts entirely. Furthermore LL2.6 & 2.4 were able to
run supertuxkart out-of-the-box using the steering wheel
with the older laptop that now has zorin on it for my 11 year
old son.

I am just guessing he is plugging the steering wheel
in after login and bootup and hence the game does not see it

No. The steering wheel was plugged in both before & after boot up (tried both),
but still doesn't work.  Thanks rokytnji but I think it may be time to do a CLEAN INSTALL,
as I have too many issues bothering me with my set-up at the
moment, which all seem to have happened round about the same time, e.g:

- steering wheel not recognised (supertuxkart)
- updating/upgrading failing in gui (though terminal method works)
- gparted doesn't open (either with gui or terminal) - 'hal-lock' issue
- I can burn DVDs (e.g. distro iso files) but recently they aren't recognised
  when I try to play them, whereas my older DVDs are recognised and do play
  on the same laptop set-up.

Apart from the above four issues, everything else continues to work well on the dual-boot
UEFI set-up.  Maybe I'm experiencing the 'UEFI-bug' that wirezfree reported
recently - who knows? I'll sit on this for a few more days before making a final decision
on whether to reinstall LL2.8... Many thanks for your help rokyjni. Jerry - many thanks for the
gaming website link.
