Seeing same problem on my xubuntu machine after upgrade to 19.10. I tried different GDM's (xubuntu, gnome, xfce) and tried different themes (default, Adwaita, Breeze, DMZ). I have basic Intel graphics card with minimal capabilities, and machine is used in production so I'm unable to experiment much further. Logitech trackball mouse. I don't see anything obvious in logs. Everything was working properly prior to upgrade. I'm able to use the mouse to select and click, just no cursor is being display so it's hard to see where the pointer is located. I'm assuming this problem is related to this bug.

I have found the same problem when upgrading 2 machines from Ubuntu 19.04 -> 19.10. Reproducing problem is easy: 1. Open Ubuntu Update Window 2. Select "Upgrade" 3. On completion of update (after reboot) cursor is no longer visible. 4. This applies to display connected to VGA port on host with USB Keyboard + Mouse While the connected display has no visible cursor and so is usable, I have always used X11VNC Server to provide network GUI access. On the remote X11VNC display I see and can use the cursor. This bug report is being sent via Remote X11VNC window, as I cannot use the main VGA display window (due to lack of visible cursor) I have done search online and thought that maybe issue was with my USB Mighty Mouse, so I also tried with Logitech M100R USB Mouse. Same result, no visible mouse cursor. I have done: "grep usb /var/log/syslog" and can see many USB events, including both Apple and Logitech mouse detection events. NOTE: Due to compatibility issue with X11VNC, I have disable Wayland on both machines by adding the following option to: /etc/gdm3/custom.conf WaylandEnable=false Regards, John Hartley.
