When I boot up my system, the mouse cursor does not appear. If I then manually unplug and then replug the mouse, the mouse cursor appears and I can use it.
I am running Ubuntu 13.10 on a system with the following specs:
motherboard: Asus Z87-Pro
CPU: i7-4770K
memory: 16GB
graphics: GeForce GTX 770
disk: samsung 840 solid state 500GB drive (primary) + 2 WD 3TB sata drives
keyboard/mouse: logitech MK120 (USB)
I tried swapping out the mouse for a different brand, but this did not help. I also tried disabling legacy USB in the BIOS, but this did not help either.
Thanks in advance from a long-ago unix hacker for any advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem.
