The photos in comments #12 and #13 show the Ubuntu Yaru theme is not
being used (missing the logo aside from this cursor bug), so it makes
some sense if whatever theme that is requires more of Adwaita than
regular Ubuntu does.
** Summary changed:
- [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square (missing
adwaita-icon-theme-full)
+ GNOME (non-Ubuntu) login screen mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square
(missing adwaita-icon-theme-full)
** Package changed: ubuntu => gdm3 (Ubuntu)
** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Low
** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE
MicroServer Gen10 Plus.
I installed the server edition of 22.04. Post-Installation, I added
some desktop environments. After logging in, these are working fine.
However on the gdm login entry and password entry screens I had no
mouse pointer icon. A semi-opaque white square tracked the mouse
movements. My reading suggested that gdm defaults to using the cursor
icon theme provided by the adwaita-icon-theme package. I discovered
this theme comes in two sizes, a basic, smaller package installed
automatically and a larger "full" package.
$ apt list 'adwaita-icon-theme*'
Listing... Done
adwaita-icon-theme/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed,automatic]
adwaita-icon-theme-full/jammy,now 41.0-1ubuntu1 all [installed]
$
The gdm mouse pointer appears and disappears with installation and
removal of the package "adwaita-icon-theme-full". Either gdm's
dependencies should include the "full" package OR the appropriate
mouse pointer icons should be moved from the full to the basic
"adwaita-icon-theme" package.
