Public bug reported: I downloaded precise-desktop-amd64.iso from Ubuntu on Monday 30th Jan 2012 to install into Virtualbox (version 4.1.8.r75467). I was in the process of using it as a Live CD to install 12.04LTS so that I can test it out.
The problem began before I was trying to choose whether to use the "Try Ubuntu" option or the "Install Ubuntu" option. I could not choose either because the mouse cursor disappeared! So I tried to do the same method but using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS AMD64 iso (a very recent download within Jan 2012) and the mouse cursor can be seen. It is very bizarre! How do I get around this? Do I need to do an extra trick? Or is it simply the precise-desktop-amd64.iso image that is causing the problem? I've tried to google online to see if there was a workaround and there doesn't seem to be. So thought I had better raise it as a bug because it looks like a bug. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I downloaded precise-desktop-amd64.iso from Ubuntu on Monday 30th Jan 2012 to install into Virtualbox (version 4.1.8.r75467).
