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 reappears. Seen on two identical ASUS 1001PX machines, both totally erased and loaded with Xubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit from a USB stick with the MD5 verified. There is only one display, the default "Laptop", known to the Displays systems setting. So this isn't a problem with the cursor moving to some nonexistent display. This problem has a large number of hits in Google, is more than a year old here, is marked "Critical", and still no one has taken it on. This is a "don't use Linux" level problem for new users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453538 Title: Invisible mouse pointer Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After system boot on login screen mouse pointer is invisible.
