[Bug 1465862] Re: Mouse Cursor Invisible
Vindicator, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97M-ITXac/?cat=Download&os=BIOS
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(1.70). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.
Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Mouse Cursor Invisible
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My first experience was while using kernel 3.9.21 which I upgraded to today.
I read about "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false", but it didn't bring it back (I did not reboot).
Then I also read about CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and it came back.
Then I built my own kernel 4.0, rebooted and straight away the mouse cursor was nowhere to be seen (don't remember if it was visible during login).
Right away I tried CTRL-ALT-F1 -> F7 and that did nothing. Luckily items will highlight when hovered over, so I got my browser up and also brought up the terminal to try gsettings again, but to no avail.
That's when I tried ubuntu-bug report and at the very last stage when I'm about to press "Send", the cursor shows up.
I went ahead and sent the report anyway in hopes that the capturing
part of the report would show the visibility issue.
