Yes Ubuntu and GNOME sessions are really the same thing, just with different themes.
My only suggestion would be to finish testing: sudo apt install unity-session sudo apt install xfce4-session sudo apt install cinnamon-session so that we can rule in or out 'mutter' being the cause here, or to see if it's a general graphics driver issue. -- 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/1935728 Title: [radeon] Mouse pointer randomly disappears - other mouse operations still work Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The mouse pointer randomly dissappears (same behavior in ubuntu 20.04 LTS and ubuntu 20.10). When this occurs all other mouse operations still function - left/right click - scroll wheel - mouse position still moves Just the actual mouse pointer not visible.
