[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1972080] Re: GNOME (non-Ubuntu) login screen mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square (missing adwaita-icon-theme-full)
Removal of the package 'sabily-gdm-themes' and rebooting had no effect on my situation. Daniel, perhaps you have some insight into this. What information I've found in my internet search says that gdm/gdm3 defaults to Adwaita icon theme. I'm looked for "how to configure" type articles about gdm and none have been applicable or have had not effect. Do you know how to reconfigure gdm in Ubuntu 22.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972080 Title: GNOME (non-Ubuntu) login screen mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square (missing adwaita-icon-theme-full) Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1972080] Re: [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square
Adding MUTTER_DEBUG_DISABLE_HW_CURSORS=1 to /etc/environment and rebooting had no effect on the issue. White square "mouse pointer" is present on gdm login screen if /usr/share/icons/adwaita/cursors is missing (renamed). If instead I install a symbolic link .../Adwaita/cursors -> .../Yaru/cursors and restart gdm I get valid mouse pointers. gdm is clearly looking for its cursor files in the Adwaita theme directory rather than Yaru. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972080 Title: [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1972080] Re: [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square
The reported problem is during login, not after successful login. I don't think mutter configuration has any effect before graphical login. Ubuntu's cursor theme may come from 'yaru-theme-icon', but does gdm's? Two files affect the observed condition: /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_ptr /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm These come from the package 'adwaita-theme-icon-full'. If the package is not installed I have no login screen mouse pointer. Install the package and the pointer appears. Leave the package installed and deleted the two above files and the pointer is gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972080 Title: [mgag200] Mouse cursor is a semi-opaque white square Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Do not think this is hardware dependent, but I'm using an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus.
