I appologise before hand for any mistakes in my reporting as I am relatively new to arduino and this forum.
I am having issues trying to compile an example from the menu inside arduino IDE
The code should be identicle to what was loaded from the example menu. But, I have posted it anyways for peace of mind.
Here is the code
/*
JoystickMouseControl
Controls the mouse from a joystick on an Arduino Leonardo, Micro or Due.
Uses a pushbutton to turn on and off mouse control, and a second pushbutton
to click the left mouse button.
Hardware:
- 2-axis joystick connected to pins A0 and A1
- pushbuttons connected to pin D2 and D3
The mouse movement is always relative. This sketch reads two analog inputs
that range from 0 to 1023 (or less on either end) and translates them into
ranges of -6 to 6.
The sketch assumes that the joystick resting values are around the middle of
the range, but that they vary within a threshold.
WARNING: When you use the Mouse.move() command, the Arduino takes over your
mouse! Make sure you have control before you use the command. This sketch
includes a pushbutton to toggle the mouse control state, so you can turn on
and off mouse control.

I have installed a new system but I am unable to access it in person so I am sshing to the device that the arduino is connected to.
I am confused because I definetely saw Mouse being imported at the beginning. So, I am unsure as to why it is not able to compile.
The remote server is running a Lubuntu installation. It is not possible to have windows.(We need to figure out iPXE before we can make it work.)
The arduino processor is ATmega 32U4 and I believe the model is a Leonardo.
I have verified that both mouse and keyboard have been installed via the Library Manager under Tools.
Is there something simple I have missed out or troubleshooting steps I need to further do?
