No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

Hello,

After resuming from suspension I do not see my mouse cursor for about ~30 seconds. In the logs I cannot find any related error message.

Does anyone ever had a similar issue?

Packages:

systemd 204-3
xorg-server 1.14.3-1
linux 3.11.1-1

Re: No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

What desktop environment are you using? (Xfce, KDE, Gnome, i3, OpenBox....)

Re: No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

I am using Gnome 3.8. Actually I have to say that it does not happen every time. Sometimes the cursor is visible. Though I have no idea how to trace down the issue.

Re: No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

If you are using a laptop with a touchpad try moving the mouse with that, eventually this will trigger the mouse to reappear. Or plug out your mouse and plug it in again.

Gnome sometimes thinks there is only a touch device available and hides the mouse cursor directly after login. AFAIK this is a known issue without a proper fix so far.

Re: No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

Moving the touchpad of my laptop around does not bring the cursor back. Yet I noticed that the cursor only sometimes remains hidden after resume from hibernation.

Resuming from suspension actually always works flawlessly.

Re: No mouse cursor after resume from suspend

I don't know if this is the same bug. I'm using openbox and a desktop computer without any touchpad. After being suspended, my mouse somehow rules all of my desktop - whole screen is flattering, and moving mouse changes the size of the visible, flashing window. Moving cursor to the top of the screen "locks" the window, and everything except mouse cursor is perfectly normal. Cursor is waving and flashing bunch of pixels, from the right side of the screen to the current location of the mouse cursor. I can use the mouse, and cursor is in right location. Ctrl+Alt+F2 visiting to tty2 and coming back fixes the situation, so I can use computer just fine, but it's still quite uncomfortable. Sounds quite strange, I think?
