[Bug 1238410] Re: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled
hey there, *new here* - I had the same problem with Xubuntu 14.04.3 32bit (with external screen) - it appears I discovered a work around(?) for the issue, see attachments please - also I testet deactivating this plugin: with gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false did NOT work for me after reboot, but I kept the "false" setting and made the following changes that seem to work (attachment), also I am not sure which of these 3 steps made the issue disappear. ** Attachment added: "work around(?) for xubuntu 14.04.3 invisible mouse pointer cursor" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1238410/+attachment/4551569/+files/work%20around%20invisible%20mouse%20pointer%20cursor%20xubuntu%2014-04-03.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238410 Title: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-desktop/+bug/1238410/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1238410] Re: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled
SInce no one else has chimed in, here's my situation... I had the mouse cursor disappears problem on a fresh install of 13.10. Drove me nuts. Changing the gnome settings to false (as reported elsewhere I think) did not bring the cursor back, however, going to a full-screen terminal (CTL-ALT-F6/F7 for me) brought the cursor back. The cursor would disappear at random times, however there were two things that I could do to guarantee to make it happen. Open a video in VLC or run SSVNC. I'm not sure I did it correctly, but I added the saucy-proposed repository and I added the /etc/apt/preference file to not force other updates. Then I opened synaptic and could not find the xorg-server package that had been updated. Couldn't find anything like that, but I did find several packages with the similar version (2:1.14.3) so I blindly upgraded xserver-xorg-core, which also upgraded xserver-xorg- common (I think, because I can't find it in synaptic). I am now running xserver-xorg-core 2:1.14.5-1ubuntu2~saucy1. Anyway, all that to say that since I did that yesterday, it has completely fixed the bug for me. Haven't had the cursor disappear once. It fixed the VLC issue as well as the SSVNC issue.

[Bug 1238410] Re: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled
I'm glad to see there's a fix. I haven't had the cursor staying invisible problem, but I have an issue with this setting in general. I use focus follows mouse. When the mouse blanks out, whatever window it's over gets focus. The use case where this behavior is most noticeable is in my IDE. I hit ctrl-h to make a search window pop up. I start typing in the search. Then my mouse disappears and focus switches to my IDE's editor. Now I'm typing a fragment of my search in there. This happens a couple times a minute and it's aggravating as hell. Please consider changing the default setting OR the behavior of the mosue blanking out so that it doesn't trigger focus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238410 Title: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-desktop/+bug/1238410/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Specifically: - the alarm is set up for NegativeTransition, delta 0, abs value 10ms - if the idle time is 10ms, a move of the mouse resets the idle time counter to 0. This will trigger the alarm notify to be sent (correct behaviour) - SyncComputeBracketValues() is called to re-compute the bracket values - the bracket value for the negative transition (10) is higher than the current value (0). Thus, the bracket is not set. - the idle timer goes above 10 ms, but a reset will _not_ send an event from now on. However, if after the 10 ms any alarm triggers and/or is changed by a client, SyncComputeBracketValues() will recompute the bracket values and will install our alarm as lower bracket. Thus, it will trigger for the next reset.

As a workaround, a client can do the following to address the issue: If a client needs a NegativeTransition alarm events for a threshold T, it can create _two_ alarms. One for a negative transition on T with the event mask set, and one for a positive transition on T with the event mask not set. This way, if the negative transition bracket is not set (see comment 0), the positive one is set. And once that fires, the brackets will be recalculated and the negative transition alarm will be re-set. Since the event mask is clear for the positive alarm, no event is sent, so the client doesn't need any further adjustments. The same should work for a client needing a positive transition alarm, with the obvious changes.

I should qualify that. Per-device alarms seem to work great, I wasn't able to make the cursor disappear completely without it reappearing when using the touchpad. This was my reproducer: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706229#c21 However, gnome-settings-daemon's power plugin watches for the global idle time, and it has trouble turning the backlight back on when a key is pressed. My test case is: - setup blank screen to 1 min in the power settings - let it blank - press esc once the screen has gone completely black - wait a second, screen doesn't turn on - press ctrl, you'll see the password prompt instead of the shield, meaning that gnome-shell did receive the esc (that dismisses the shield) but gnome-settings-daemon didn't notice the key press as not being idle anymore and didn't turn on the backlight.

I have also found this to be a problem a couple of times on Ubuntu 13.10. I haven't experienced it enough times to definitively figure out what is happening. But I believe that this bug might be occurring when you reboot a machine and log in without ever touching the mouse. I resolved the problem by logging out using the indicator (without seeing my cursor), and then logging in while making sure I move the mouse.

Per duped Bug #1237218, the manifestation I see of this is that very occasionally I log in (not having touched the mouse at all so I'm unsure if it is working on the greeter screen), and I find that there is no mouse visible in Unity. It is still active, as I can use the invisible mouse pointer to click on things.

[Bug 1238410] Re: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled
I have nearly the same problem. I have recently upgraded to 13.10 and the invisible-mouse-cursor problem immediately affected me. Basically, I have the following: - I have no visible cursor inside LightDM during login - I have no visible cursor inside the Lubuntu session of LXDE. Although I can click and perform all mouse activities. - For a brief moment, after successful login between the Lightdm and LXDE session, I can see the X server's default mouse cursor. But it disappears as soon as LXDE is started. I found a rather dumb way of fixing the problem and I have no clue why it worked. 1. Created a new user called 'dummy' 2. Logged out from my default user session (where the mouse cursor is invisible). Alternatively you could do 'sudo service restart lightdm' if clicking the right button becomes tedious due to the invisible cursor 3. From LightDM, logged in as 'dummy' - great, mouse cursor is visible here. 4. Logged out from 'dummy' user session 5. From LightDM, Logged in as the default user - voila! mouse cursor is back! Other tricks that I had tried: - sudo update-alternatives --display x-cursor-theme ## make sure it is set to a theme that you have installed on your machine - Check ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu or ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE to make sure it matches what you have set above Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238410 Title: Inconsistent cursor visibility with cursor plugin enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1238410/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
