I have Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Window interface is Wayland. And described solution didn't work long. After half an hour cursor disappeared again. So it is obviously just coincidence that it worked.
Here is detailed description of what I did before this bug happened: 1. First of all my device worked good. Pointer was visible when stylus was used. 2. I've installed chrome-remote-desktop and found that I can't log to X locally anymore because some conflict between gnome and chrome-remote-desktop. (I used https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless/ setup). 3. I've purged chrome-remote-desktop and found this bug. Pointer of mouse became independent and stylus pointer isn't visible anymore in programs (firefox for example) but visible on desktop as separate cursor or cross. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726224 Title: wacom invisible mouse pointer in wayland Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10, I connected my Wacom Intuos tablet, which has touch and pen functionality. Controlling the mouse pointer through the touch functionality seems to work fine, but using the stylus produced very strange behaviour, depending the program. - With Firefox there there are two pointers - one that is moving in accordance with the stylus movements, and one stays put at the position, when the stylus movement was detected. - With Darktable the mouse pointer becomes invisible, once it's moved inside of the application window (it registers clicks though). Once the pointer is moved outside of the application window, it appears again. I'm running Ubuntu inside of a wayland session. libwacom2: 0.24-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1726224/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
