[Touch-packages] [Bug 1526079] Re: Mouse cursor sometimes becomes invisible
Changing the resolution with xrandr has not been successful in bringing the cursor back recently, but attempting to switch to another user (and then returning to the original session) DOES cause the cursor to reappear. This at least gives me a workaround (and hopefully hints at a fix). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1526079 Title: Mouse cursor sometimes becomes invisible Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: (This report is incomplete; I need some guidance regarding steps I can take the next time this happens so I can gather better information to report.)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1526079] Re: Mouse cursor sometimes becomes invisible
Could you share a little technical background on how the BIOS could affect what seems to be a problem manifested either in X or the Intel display driver? I'm not saying it couldn't play a role, but it seems extremely likely that the problem lies in one of those places. I've been unsuccessful so far in attempts to update the BIOS, as Lenovo makes this process somewhat more difficult for users without Windows. The problem happened again today; While moving the cursor from monitor to another, it disappeared, and now it is only drawn on the external display. I can still hover/select/click things on the primary display, but the cursor is not drawn graphically. I would still greatly appreciate any suggestions for things that I can do when this does happen which would help narrow down what is happening and lead me closer to a repro. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1526079 Title: Mouse cursor sometimes becomes invisible Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: (This report is incomplete; I need some guidance regarding steps I can take the next time this happens so I can gather better information to report.)

I have recently seen an increase in unexpected X crashes while using my machine, sending me back to the login screen and losing the state of my open applications. I use a ThinkPad T540p with Intel graphics and Ubuntu 15.10 (upgraded from 15.04). I use Xrandr to configure and position my external and internal displays, including the use of the --panning/--scale/--dpi options to help my external display behave more like my internal HiDPI display (in case that's relevant to this problem). I heavily use PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE from their IDEA family built in Java. The last two times this crash has happened to me (Friday and today), I was interacting with the IDE at the time. I saved a copy of Xorg.0.log.old both times and will attempt to attach both to this report (their backtraces differ a bit). During the first crash I believe I was simply interacting with the UI in some way; During the second crash, I had just clicked the window decoration's "X" button to close PhpStorm. Please let me know if there's something I can do to help diagnose the crash further. In the meantime, I've installed the -dbg packages for xorg-core and xorg-video-intel in the hopes that future backtraces might be more useful. If I see this crash again, I'll post the log here in the comments.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1516822] [NEW] Xorg crashes with segmentation fault

I have recently seen an increase in unexpected X crashes while using my machine, sending me back to the login screen and losing the state of my open applications. I use a ThinkPad T540p with Intel graphics and Ubuntu 15.10 (upgraded from 15.04). I use Xrandr to configure and position my external and internal displays, including the use of the --panning/--scale/--dpi options to help my external display behave more like my internal HiDPI display (in case that's relevant to this problem). I heavily use PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE from their IDEA family built in Java. The last two times this crash has happened to me (Friday and today), I was interacting with the IDE at the time. I saved a copy of Xorg.0.log.old both times and will attempt to attach both to this report (their backtraces differ a bit). During the first crash I believe I was simply interacting with the UI in some way; During the second crash, I had just clicked the window decoration's "X" button to close PhpStorm. Please let me know if there's something I can do to help diagnose the crash further. In the meantime, I've installed the -dbg packages for xorg-core and xorg-video-intel in the hopes that future backtraces might be more useful. If I see this crash again, I'll post the log here in the comments.
