(I updated the Bios but the bug persist.
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

These posts describe my problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1393169
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1396361
The only way I've found to remove the extra mouse cursor is to drag an image in Chrome (?). It doesn't work with an image in Firefox nor in another program.
Anyway, the extra mouse coursor appears again at any time, so I have no solution for this.

Pedro, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https:/
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Thank you for your understanding.
