Public bug reported: I recently installed XUbuntu 16.04 on my Latitude E7450 laptop.
The mouse cursor disappears when I lock then unlock the session. The mouse is still functional but the cursor is not displayed. This bug is similar to #492782 but I do not think it is a duplicate as there no need to suspend to RAM or disk for it to express. However the symptoms and workarounds are similar : switching to a virtual console then back restores the cursor ; so does running gedit and typing text in it. Note the the symptoms only start after the session has been unlocked : the mouse cursor is visible on the login screen. It does not seem to be managed by the same process there however (sign of this : I set the cursor to a bigger size in my session but this does not take effect in the login screen). ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576550 Title: Mouse cursor disappears after locking screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/1576550/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
