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 gsettings only affects the current login user. In order to be sure, I configured my lightdm to auto-login. I intend to check if gsettings can make the pointer show up, now that culprit (login screen) is skipped. It resulted something very weird. - Cursor would show up on the left side if I move it to the rightmost position. If I move leftward a bit, it would slip off from left edge of the screen. I could not click one of the unity tool bar icons because the cursor can go to at most left edge only, and not a little more right. - Desktop wallpaper is not showing up. Desktop is black and blank (blank means no icons) - Shortcut keys has no response. Super key doesn't call up HUD, and Ctrl+Shift+T doesn't call up terminal. Effectively in this limbo status the user has nothing to do but to restart computer again. I had to manually edit /etc/lightdm.conf to prevent auto-login again. Without autlogin, my host behaves exactly as previously described - "no pointer but click works, restart lightdm helps". By the way the desktop wall paper, HUD and desktop icons are all back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453538 Title: Invisible mouse pointer Status in Light Display Manager: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After system boot on login screen mouse pointer is invisible.
