no mouse cursor visible in 16.04.1
Asked by
Michael J Holley
With both Ubuntu 15.10 and now Ubuntu 16.04.1, when I boot in the test (not installed) mode, no mouse cursor is displayed on the screen. I can move around a little bit on the desktop using the tab and arrow keys, but basically I can accomplish nothing useful without being able to move around the screen and select the boxes on the left hand side of the desktop. My computer is an HP h9-1420t desktop with an Intel Core i7-3770 3.4Ghz processor and 18GB of memory. The DVD is used to boot Ubuntu on a machine with Windows 10 Home installed on a Samsung SSD 850 250GB drive. There is also a Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive. The mouse is an HP Optical Mouse connected to a USB 2.0 port. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
