[Solved] Mouse cursor partially reset to default after update

PhotonX · 2017-03-02 09:08:49

Hello community,

after yesterday's update the theme of my mouse cursor behaves in a weird way. Over some windows (say, Firefox, windows of QT apps) the cursor theme is as it should be. Over most other windows, window borders, the panel, the desktop, however, it is reset to default. I remember, I already had this problem a long time ago and solved it by entering my theme into /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme like

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=mytheme

I checked and the entry is still there. Switching cursor themes in the mouse settings has no effect at all, unfortunately (neither the "good" theme nor the "bad" default theme change).

Some information: I am using Xfce and Compiz (the problem appears with Xfwm too, though). Here is the update log:

I think, the relevant part has happened till 9:02. I tried downgrading libinput and libx11 but it didn't help. Any hints are appreciated!

Bumpy bump!

PhotonX, after almost nine years you should know better. Don't bump.

PhotonX · 2017-04-11 17:05:33

Yep, I know and I don't like what I'm doing, but it never happened to me within the nine years that a thread of mine got no reply for over a month and I couldn't solve the issue myself during this time. In this case here, I think, I provided as much information as I could in the initial post and don't know how to troubleshoot further...

I've had this issue happen too, but not on Arch. I run Arch XFCE w/Compiz, never had the issue on Arch, but I did on Manjaro XFCE.
-First, set the default file in /usr/share/icons/default to:

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita

-Open up the hidden /home/.icons folder in your /home area and delete any default folder that is in there if you have one (This is the problem on Manjaro. They create a user default folder so the iso installation use's Manjaro's cursor.)
-Then in settings/mouse change the theme do default (not Adwaita, select default)
-Reboot
-Be sure that any custom cursor themes you have installed are in /usr/share/icons/ and the permissions are correct. If you install any cursor themes in /home/.icons you will experience what you are describing as system level events will trigger the default theme in /usr/share/icons/default.
-My guess is a permission issue on a user installed theme. Most cursor themes in Pacman/AUR will automatically be installed in the correct area with the correct permissions. In Thunar permissions should read for the cursor theme:

Owner: root (root)
Access: Read & Write
Group: root
Access: Read Only
Others: Read Only

-Now go ahead and select your cursor theme in XFCE's settings and it should now work properly (the setting in /usr/share/icons/default should have no bearing on this, as it merely points to the default setting in XFCE's cursor settings)
-I'm using the xcursor-breeze theme installed from AUR and it works properly on every program in Arch XFCE w/Compiz with the default in /usr/share/icons/default being Adwaita.

PhotonX · 2017-04-16 17:09:21

Thanks for the reply! I checked what you proposed:

$ cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Pulse-Glass

/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme seems right.

$ ls -la ~/.icons
total 20
drwxr-xr-x   3 photon users  4096 Mar  2 09:15 .
drwx------ 201 photon users 12288 Apr 16 18:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 photon users  4096 May  1  2011 awn-theme

No default folder in ~/.icons

-Then in settings/mouse change the theme do default (not Adwaita, select default)
-Reboot

Did that.

Be sure that any custom cursor themes you have installed are in /usr/share/icons/ and the permissions are correct. If you install any cursor themes in /home/.icons you will experience what you are describing as system level events will trigger the default theme in /usr/share/icons/default.

Yep, the theme is installed via an AUR package and the permissions seem right:

$ ls -l /usr/share/icons/Pulse-Glass/
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   74 Mar  2 09:14 cursor.theme
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar  2 09:14 cursors
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   93 Mar  2 09:14 index.theme

-Now go ahead and select your cursor theme in XFCE's settings and it should now work properly (the setting in /usr/share/icons/default should have no bearing on this, as it merely points to the default setting in XFCE's cursor settings)

Did that as well, though I'm a bit confused, first I should choose Default, then reboot, then choose the actual theme? This is how I did it.

-I'm using the xcursor-breeze theme installed from AUR and it works properly on every program in Arch XFCE w/Compiz with the default in /usr/share/icons/default being Adwaita.

Now this is strange, why Adwaita and not xcursor-breeze? I actually have a /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme.pacnew where Adwaita is entered but this seems wrong... Maybe I should change to Adwaita as well though the icon theme is a different one? But the pacnew file is not from the update which broke the cursor theme, its time stamp is from 2014...

edit: Interestingly, I also have a Manjaro install (on my laptop) and in my case it is the other way around: On the Manjaro install the cursor theme is correctly set while in the Arch install the problem appeared...

Ok the pacnew file doesn't make sense. I don't know why you would have that in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme. Be sure you only have a /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file, delete the pacnew extension, or delete the index.theme.pacnew file, and make a new one that is just index.theme. And then try it again.

PhotonX · 2017-04-18 13:30:20

Unfortunately, I have no access to the affected machine till Saturday. However, afaik the .pacnew files are not read by anything and are there just for reference. Also, the pacnew file is last changed in 2014 but the problem started appearing after an update in March 2017...

PhotonX · 2020-05-28 09:49:44

A few weeks ago I noticed that the issue has been fixed by some update.

Arch Linux
