The reported problem is during login, not after successful login. I don't think mutter configuration has any effect before graphical login.
Ubuntu's cursor theme may come from 'yaru-theme-icon', but does gdm's? Two files affect the observed condition: /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_ptr /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm These come from the package 'adwaita-theme-icon-full'. If the package is not installed I have no login screen mouse pointer. Install the package and the pointer appears. Leave the package installed and deleted the two above files and the pointer is gone. -- 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/1972080 Title: [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus. I installed the server edition of 22.04. Post-Installation, I added some desktop environments. After logging in, these are working fine. However on the gdm login entry and password entry screens I had no mouse pointer icon. A semi-opaque white square tracked the mouse movements. My reading suggested that gdm defaults to using the cursor icon theme provided by the adwaita-icon-theme package. I discovered this theme comes in two sizes, a basic, smaller package installed automatically and a larger "full" package. $ apt list 'adwaita-icon-theme*' Listing... Done adwaita-icon-theme/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed,automatic] adwaita-icon-theme-full/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed] $ The gdm mouse pointer appears and disappears with installation and removal of the package "adwaita-icon-theme-full". Either gdm's dependencies should include the "full" package OR the appropriate mouse pointer icons should be moved from the full to the basic "adwaita-icon-theme" package.
