I have discovered that Kubuntu 17.10 isn;t affected by this bug. Quite some time has passed since my last time checking on this bug. So I decided to give Kubuntu and Kde Neon another go, since I heard there were some updates and wanted to see how it works as I wanted to go back to 16.04 LTS but both KDE Neon and Kubuntu 16.04 with latest greatest updates gave me the damned cursor bug with Nvidia drivers. tried different version, no difference. Then I thought what if it was kernel related, Kubuntu 17.10 comes with a newer kernel which at the time was 4.13 so I upgraded my Kubuntu 16.04 to Linux Kernel 4.13 and the issue is still there. Again went through many recommended workarounds and none seemed to be the good one. Went back to Kubuntu 17.10 again and have no damned cursor bug. A good starting point too look at might be the differences between Kubuntu 17.10 and Kubuntu 16.04 because Kubuntu 17.10 seems to have it solved for the users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
