I'm running on an Intel NUC NUC5i7RYH with boot disk as SM-951 NVMe (MZVPV512HDGL) and secondary disk Samsung Evo 850.
I fresh installed 14.04.3 LTS and experience this problem. Solutions, such as the following, don't predictably work for me: * exec unity-settings-daemon * sudo gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false * sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse I have the following packages installed related to what's mentioned in this bug: ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11.2 amd64 daemon handling the GNOME session settings ii ubuntu-settings 14.04.5 all default settings for the Ubuntu desktop ii unity-settings-daemon 14.04.0+14.04.20140606-0ubuntu3 amd64 daemon handling the Unity session settings Recovering the mouse is employing one or all of the above (the gsettings often being what appears to work MOST times) after about a minute of login time, then logging out and moving the mouse - ensuring it appears before I log in. Of note, what I know works best, is waiting for a while, running one or all of the above commands, and then logging out and back in. Every boot, 100% of the time, I have no visible mouse however something is tracking mouse movement as I can go between monitors and the login prompt moves between windows. I'm using unity/gnome. Using gnome classic has not changed the results. This is highly frustrating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1390628 Title: Mouse pointer invisible after upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04 Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian: New Bug description: After upgrading from Xubuntu 14.04 to 14.10, the mouse pointer became invisible AFTER the user session start. This is why it looks like an XFCE problem (although it might be another problem with Xorg or the graphics stack triggered by XFCE). The mouse works perfectly in the login page, and when logging in with an user, it works fine when the XFCE logo is shown while starting the session, but afterwards, a graphics mode seems to change (I can see some activity in Xorg.log) and after that I can't see the mouse pointer anymore. The mouse works, the pointer is just invisible. I can even use it through VNC, I can see the VNC client showing the pointer perfectly too. This is rendering my computer virtually unusable.
