I'm running a clean installation of 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 with dual monitors. When I start up the mouse is invisible on the login screen and after logging in. Relogging in does not work.
I've googled around and there seems to be the following two general suggestions
https://askubuntu.com/a/455651/235211
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
and http://itsfoss.com/invisible-mouse-cursor-ubuntu-1310/
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
Neither of which resolved my problem. It was only fixed after restarting the xserver.
sudo restart lightdm
This fixes the problem. But the problem reappears after restarting my computer. I could reload the server on every setup, but that seems like a poor bandaid solution rather than fixing the core issue.
What can I do to resolve the issue or further debug it?
