| BHSPiMonkey | Hi all. I've been encountering a strange issue wherein my mouse cursor becomes invisible, and stays that way (on one, or sometimes both) monitors, until I either restart X or it comes back on its own. It happens to me at least once a week while I'm working, and has happened at least for 2 or 3 months if not longer. | 21:39 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Normally I'd file a ticket but in this case I've made no progress in establishing reproduction steps, and I don't know enough about the internals to know where to poke around or investigate when I see it happen | 21:40 |
| BHSPiMonkey | So I'm hoping for a little guidance in terms of things I can do the next time it happens to try and build a sane report | 21:40 |
| rbasak | BHSPiMonkey: can you identify when it started? | 21:41 |
| rbasak | BHSPiMonkey: was that on upgrade from a previous release, for example, or when you received routine updates? | 21:41 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Things I've tried in order to make it reappear (to no avail): Toggling the gsetting that should show/hide it, switching to/from a TTY, hovering over several UI elements that would cause the cursor icon to change | 21:42 |
| rbasak | BHSPiMonkey: I would file a bug anyway since it might help you connect to others with the same issue which might help figure it out. It's fine just file a bug with its status as Incomplete for example. | 21:42 |
| BHSPiMonkey | rbasak: I cannot; it at least started on 15.04, and now I'm on 15.10 and it persists | 21:42 |
| rbasak | BHSPiMonkey: you could try a different desktop environment too, to isolate whether it is an X server problem or a desktop environment problem. | 21:42 |
| BHSPiMonkey | At this point should I file the bug under the ubuntu package itself? | 21:44 |
| BHSPiMonkey | Until we can at least identify where in the stack the problem exists | 21:44 |
| rbasak | It sounds like an x.org package to me. | 21:45 |
