4.2-rc1 was a COMPLETE failure. It began with the build using "binary-perarch". I only added that because of the linux-cloud* and linux-tools* installation (which I figure probably isn't needed, but it's there). That isn't a big deal.
I cleaned and recompiled and installed just fine. HOWEVER, boot was where the "complete" failure occurred. I don't know how to get the log and submit a bug report for that (I'll research submission methods). I took some pictures with my phone. At the end of the first trace, it said "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!" I'm also wondering what this "testing" is supposed to be doing. This is an issue that has been on the books for years if you were to search online for "(invisible OR disappearing) mouse (gnome OR linux OR ubuntu)". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465862 Title: Mouse Cursor Invisible Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My first experience was while using kernel 3.9.21 which I upgraded to today. I read about "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false", but it didn't bring it back (I did not reboot). Then I also read about CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and it came back. Then I built my own kernel 4.0, rebooted and straight away the mouse cursor was nowhere to be seen (don't remember if it was visible during login). Right away I tried CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and that did nothing. Luckily items will highlight when hovered over, so I got my browser up and also brought up the terminal to try gsettings again, but to no avail. That's when I tried ubuntu-bug report and at the very last stage when I'm about to press "Send", the cursor shows up. I went ahead and sent the report anyway in hopes that the capturing part of the report would show the visibility issue.
