[Brian Menges <1390628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running on an Intel NUC NUC5i7RYH with boot disk as SM-951 NVMe
(MZVPV512HDGL) and secondary disk Samsung Evo 850.

I fresh installed 14.04.3 LTS and experience this problem.

Solutions, such as the following, don't predictably work for me:
* exec unity-settings-daemon
* sudo gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
* sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse

I have the following packages installed related to what's mentioned in this bug:
ii  gnome-settings-daemon                                 3.8.6.1-0ubuntu11.2                                 amd64        daemon handling the GNOME session settings
ii  ubuntu-settings                                       14.04.5                                             all          default settings for the Ubuntu desktop
ii  unity-settings-daemon                                 14.04.0+14.04.20140606-0ubuntu3                     amd64        daemon handling the Unity session settings

Recovering the mouse is employing one or all of the above (the gsettings
often being what appears to work MOST times) after about a minute of
login time, then logging out and moving the mouse - ensuring it appears
before I log in. Of note, what I know works best, is waiting for a
while, running one or all of the above commands, and then logging out
and back in.

Every boot, 100% of the time, I have no visible mouse however something
is tracking mouse movement as I can go between monitors and the login
prompt moves between windows.

I'm using unity/gnome. Using gnome classic has not changed the results.

This is highly frustrating.

Title:
  Mouse pointer invisible after upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Xubuntu 14.04 to 14.10, the mouse pointer became
  invisible AFTER the user session start. This is why it looks like an
  XFCE problem (although it might be another problem with Xorg or the
  graphics stack triggered by XFCE).

  The mouse works perfectly in the login page, and when logging in with
  an user, it works fine when the XFCE logo is shown while starting the
  session, but afterwards, a graphics mode seems to change (I can see
  some activity in Xorg.log) and after that I can't see the mouse
  pointer anymore. The mouse works, the pointer is just invisible. I can
  even use it through VNC, I can see the VNC client showing the pointer
  perfectly too.

  This is rendering my computer virtually unusable.
