I have not had this happen again recently. It seems there was a nvidia
video driver update shortly after I originally reported this, and I
think that it may have fixed the issue. I'll report back here if I
experience this further.

Title:
  [HP Pavilion dv8t-1200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC] Missing Mouse-
  Cursor After Login

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In the last couple of weeks, I've experienced problems (off and on),
  where after logging into the Unity desktop, I do not have a mouse-
  cursor.

  When this happens, with the intention of rebooting, I hit ctrl-alt-
  delete. This produces a dialog that allows me to logout (but does not
  provide an option to reboot my machine). If I logout, and then log
  back in, the mouse-cursor still remains missing. However, if I this
  ctrl-alt-t, and type sudo reboot, after rebooting the mouse cursor
  beings to appear again.

  I never experienced this behavior in Ubuntu 14.04 until the last two
  weeks or so. So it seems some recent package upgrade (via Ubuntu
  Software Updater) is the culprit.
