I think this problem is related to kernel. Like I wrote before it's
happen when I disable vt_handoff and plymouth splash screen mouse cursor
appears. All this option is set in grub linux command.

Xubuntu doesn't use unity greeter, but cursor it's still invisible after
wake up. Should I open new bug?

I rolled back from 4.4.0-28-generic to 4.4.0-21-generic kernels, and
now it's fine, all my audio and stuff is fine now and things aren't
crashing as much - so i think the newer kernel is a bit borked.

Still broken in Xubuntu 16.04, with a clean wipe install on an ASUS
1001PX. To reproduce:
0. Install Xubuntu, and configure the default user to have a password.
1. Power up. Log in. Cursor is present.
2. Close lid.
3. Open lid. Log in.
4. Cursor is gone.
5. CTL-ALT-F1 then CTL-ALT-F7. Cursor
I can confirm that it is probably not specifically a lightdm issue. I
have Lubuntu installed and am running lxdm, and it affects me. I have
found a consistent way to reproduce this; whenever my laptop comes back
from being suspended, the mouse cursor disappears; returning to the
login screen
This issue was first reported by users on 13.04 and has lasted at least
to 15.10. I am presently struggling with it on Ubuntu 14.04. On this
release the "gsettings set" workaround does not work, neither does
logging out and logging back in. There are a number of other workarounds
discussed at
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 with 'wily' kernel and dual
monitor configuration.

Still running 15.04 and have this as well (on, anecdotally, 50% of
boots). Running "sudo service lightdm restart" addresses it (so far,
100% of the time). Let me know if there's any way in which I can help
(software engineer by trade, perpetual Linux newbie).

This happen to me too. After a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10 i hit this bug
(the mouse pointer dissapear) twice in a week. I couldn't reproduce it, it
happened while i'm logged in, randomly. To 'fix it' i had to close my session
and log-in again.
In my case, the mouse pointer appears on LightDM
On Linux 4.3.0-040300 is even worse. With $vt_handoff option and without
it mouse cursor is invisible on LightDM.

I don't think it's a lightdm issue. I've been trying lxdm and the same
issue happens there.
Might be a kernel issue: I tried mainline kernel 4.3.0 from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (v4.3-wily) and
it works flawlessly. Could also be a subtle race and running a different

I have the issue that you described in 15.10 as well.
But, the mouse pointer actually does eventually appear about 3 minutes
after login.

What worked for me on 14.04.3 was the grub change above. Removed the
"quiet splash". That alone seemed to work.
Had tried many other things including all the lightdm restarts, etc. -
none of those worked.
Also went into the Displays setting and noticed it had an "internal"
display and a 2nd
Interesting, qkiz. This is what I experimented
1. Edit /etc/default/grub
Change the line –
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash”
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
2. update grub
sudo update-grub2
3. reboot.
What I got:
1) plymouth seems to be disabled, there is no purple splash. In
I think this is different issue.

I think I solved the problem. Because I cant use gdm on 15.10 (black screen) I
started to look for a solution. I found two solutions on disappearing mouse
cursor:
1. I was disabled vt_handoff in /etc/grub.d/10_linux to see all messages when
system boots. If I disable plymouth splash screen,
15.10 problem still exists.

If it works for you, you probably had a different bug. This bug's effect
start since the login screen, and as far as I know
I have to revise the upper report a bit. On my computer, the kernel bug
seems to be reproducible with the same source location. As it turned out
today, it does NOT NECESSARILY come after lightdm restart. So, it may or
may not be connected to the invisible cursor issue. Pasting from dmesg:
Today I had a kernel bug, which appeared at second 42 after the start,
and restarting lightdm helped, contrary to my previous experience.
Unfortunately, I did not save the dmesg. Thus, the kernel bug may or may
not affect the mouse pointer issue. The kernel bug also does not appear
in dmesg on
To be more precise, the events went on as follows:
1) boot
2) observe no mouse cursor
3) switch to tty1, do dmesg (see dmesg3.out before "cut here")
4) /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
5) observe mouse cursor
6) switch to tty1, do dmesg (same output)
7) switch to lightdm (ctrl+alt+f7), log in
8) switch
But the kernel bug appeared later, after the restart and after the mouse
pointer got visible. The dmesg is attached.

I did as you wrote. No crash during boot and login. But there is some
interesting error about 40 second:
(...)
[ 40.710335] Could not create debugfs 'switch_mm' directory
[ 40.710341] Could not create debugfs 'i915_context_free' directory

Jaakov can you paste your dmesg with that error?

FWIW solution proposed here [1] worked for me
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
may be that will be helpful in debugging this issue

I think it's some systemd services dependency. If system checking file
