I had my (installed) 18.10 system on dx6120 running (for testing lximage-qt elsewhere) so decided to try that (instead of 'live').
After numerous suspends via term & gui, I've had no lost mouse-pointers! 18.10 does not have `light-locker` installed; however it is using xscreensaver; which appeared every time I resumed/woke my system. I `killall xscreensaver`, and second resume/wake my mouse-pointer was slow to appear (1-2 secs). Third test 1-2secs delay for pointer, Fourth test & it took 4-5 secs for mouse-pointer to appear (my screen had terminal full-screen, so url's on `apt-cache policy` lines had underlines flashing being all I could use to guess where cursor was until it appeared).. Fifth test again ~5+ secs // It feels longer not knowing where cursor is, but it's hard scanning screen looking // for cursor (unknown position) to appear, whilst also watch clock bottom right for timing // I'm going to reduce my OP timings, but if you need accurate I'll have to find a stopwatch The latest daily-iso is now written to thumb-drive... ** Description changed: -- updated info - I re-booted daily x86 daily on same machine, was able to re-create, but it came good on its own (20-30 seconds after screen appeared) + I re-booted daily x86 daily on same machine, was able to re-create, but it came good on its own (~15+ seconds after screen appeared) It only occurs sometimes; more testing & it can occur with `sudo systemctl suspend` but if you wait cursor will re-appear usually so my conclusion it was [fixed] via whisker-menu may be invalid; maybe I'm impatient, or nvidia/nouveau on this card requires time for system to display mouse??? I do think something is wrong, but it's extremely minor, and inconsistent! (would be a pain I suspect to find) -- original post hp dx6120mt (desktop, pentium 4 dual-core, 3gb ram, nvidia 7600gt) xubuntu 18.10 daily ISO x86 QA test - 2018-10-10 00:26 (current timestamp on QA tracker) of daily ISO on suspend everything is normal, on wake I've lost my mouse-pointer. I can see icons (drives, panel widgets) react & thus can detect where cursor is if over something, but no mouse-pointer is visible at all. To get mouse back, I select menu (top left), then move mouse over menu and pointer re-appears. Selecting anything else does not bring mouse back, also selecting menu but moving mouse up (not on menu but off screen) allows me to de-select menu without pointer being re-drawn. It returns only if I move mouse over the [main] menu when selected. I've suspended 4 times this 'live-test', same loss-of-pointer each time, each time restored via selection of menu top left (third time I didn't have it return as I coughed causing mouse to never thus cross menu & select something right causing menu to close without return of mouse- pointer; got same reaction on 4th sleep/wake).. xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ sudo lshw -C video *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:24 memory:f1000000-f1ffffff memory:e0000000-efffffff memory:f2000000-f2ffffff ioport:1000(size=128) memory:c0000-dffff --- I looked for duplicates - lots for intel graphics, not nvidia Sorry if duplicate; also I know it's a wrong package assigned (unsure to assign to) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 Package: xubuntu-desktop 2.227 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-8.9-generic 4.18.7 Uname: Linux 4.18.0-8-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu11 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.396 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Oct 10 04:30:18 2018 LiveMediaBuild: Xubuntu 18.10 "Cosmic Cuttlefish" - Beta i386 (20181010) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xubuntu-meta UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797032 Title: xubuntu 18.10 daily x86 - suspend, on wake i have no mouse-pointer (nvidia/nouveau) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1797032/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
