[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
Hi Paul, I have also confirmed, that 5.4 kernel resolves issues: Linux green 5.4.0-050400-generic #201911242031 SMP Mon Nov 25 01:35:10 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Rather than building from source I got updated kernel package via mainline kernel build site: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v5.4/ with Installation of 5.4 via forked ukuu (Ubuntu Kernel Update Utility) kernel installer: https://github.com/alcharkov/free-ukuu I have used UI both via direct physical screen and remote x11vnc with success. Now we know resolution need to either just wait or get fix back ported into 5.3 I am going to remove mainline kernel and live with inconvenience for the time being.

I manually rebuilt and installed the 5.4.0 kernel from git and can confirm that the cursor issues are resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851340 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1851340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
Hi Paul, thanks for pointing out upstream kernel update. Where would this get pulled through into Ubuntu ? To close this off I believe we should link to to either pending pull request or raise as issue with Kernel to get pull request into Ubuntu going. This bug is currently in org, but looks like it needs to be linked to something in kernel somewhere ...

[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
Thanks for the tip - now that we know we have the same graphics chip, it's obviously a G200 driver issue. Looking at the kernel history, we find: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=574cc4539762561d96b456dbc0544d8898bd4c6e which includes: mgag200: - cursor support fix Which would suggest that this has since been fixed upstream, and it's just a matter of time until it hits the ubuntu repositories. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851340 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1851340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
I have now done further testing and can confirm that this is more than just upgrade issue. I have done the following tests: A) Fresh 19.04 Desktop Install A.1) Boot - Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop CD-ROM image via USB - Mouse / Cursor ok A.2) Do clean disk install of 19.04 Desktop (Minimal Install Option selected) & Reboot. On reboot - Mouse / Curser ok A.3) Disable Wayland and reboot - Mouse / Cursor ok A.4) Do in place upgrade to 19.10 & reboot - Mouse / Cursor - Stopped Working B) Attempt Fresh 19.10 Desktop Install B.1) Boot - Ubuntu 19.10 Desktop CD-ROM image via USB - Mouse / Cursor not visible So I have unable to proceed with clean 19.10 install as there was no mouse cursor visible. So problem is to upgrade related but a general one for 19.10 release. Both my testing and Paul Bundt's was on server boxes: Dell Server with Matrox G200 and Lenovo x3650 with Matrox G200. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851340 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1851340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
I'm also in a similar situation - cursor disappeared after upgrade, and doesn't show up in any Xorg sessions (whether invoked directly, or through different DMs), and regardless of cursor theme. I'm also using a basic graphics card - the on-board Matrox G200 on a Dell server machine. Mouse continues to work fine otherwise, both in X and in the console (via GPM). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851340 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1851340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
Seeing same problem on my xubuntu machine after upgrade to 19.10. I tried different GDM's (xubuntu, gnome, xfce) and tried different themes (default, Adwaita, Breeze, DMZ). I have basic Intel graphics card with minimal capabilities, and machine is used in production so I'm unable to experiment much further. Logitech trackball mouse. I don't see anything obvious in logs. Everything was working properly prior to upgrade. I'm able to use the mouse to select and click, just no cursor is being display so it's hard to see where the pointer is located. I'm assuming this problem is related to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851340 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1851340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, did the following installs to try to get Wayland installed: sudo apt install gnome-session-wayland sudo apt install gnome-remote-desktop Still just getting purple splash with no login; Did "ps -ax | land" ps -ax | grep land 2127 tty1 Ssl+ 0:00 /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session gnome-session --autostart /usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart 2338 ?Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/Xwayland :1024 -rootless -noreset -accessx -core -auth /run/user/126/.mutter-Xwaylandauth.77M8A0 -listen 4 -listen 5 -displayfd 6 4651 pts/0S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto land So Xwayland appears to be started, so not sure why I am just getting splash and no login prompt.

[Bug 1851340] Re: Ubuntu 19.10 upgrade results in invisible mouse cursor
Hi, no I have never touched cursor/theme setting, so always default. I turned on Wayland as requested (and also disabled x11vnc). The result was that I just got purple splash screen and no log in window at all. Likely I need to add addition UI packages, which may have been auto removed. I will do UI package update and retest. Likely will only have results later in day.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you use a non default cursor theme/config?
