Bug Description

On the log-in screen I still get a mouse cursor. If I choose an openbox session the cursor works after login, too. But if I want to use compiz - the cursor disappears.

My hardware is:

Found a fix:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

Seems to be a regression.

Hello,

I confirm that I also have this bug. But I don't know if this bug report is a duplicate of bug #1238410 because I only have this bug after updates on Ubuntu Vivid.
It seems that the bug #1238410 is an old one and it should be fixed on Ubuntu Vivid.

PS: thank you for the workaround ;-)

I just removed the "duplicated" status but I don't know if this bug is due to xserver-xorg-video-intel.

Thanks a lot!

Since the last bug that was similar was caused by gsettings-daemon was somehow lost how it is supposed to tell xserver-xorg it wants to be informed reliably when the mouse pointer moves I honestly don't know if I assigned it to the right package: I think it was fixed on gsettings-daemon's side.
... and the credits for the workaround doesn't go to me: Found the solution at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24970776/the-mouse-works-fine-but-it-does-not-display-in-ubuntu-14-04-arm-beagleboard-xm after googling for about an hour without using the mouse.

Kind regards,

Gunter.

Bug #1238410 was caused by something different, and it's unlikely you're hitting that bug now.
