What worked for me on 14.04.3 was the grub change above. Removed the "quiet splash". That alone seemed to work.
Had tried many other things including all the lightdm restarts, etc. - none of those worked. Also went into the Displays setting and noticed it had an "internal" display and a 2nd display which was the real existing display. Turned off the "internal" display. Not sure if this had anything to do with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1453538 Title: Invisible mouse pointer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1453538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
