[SOLVED]: Cursor not visible in blender after system update

rcorre · 2025-02-11 12:46:33

After a recent system update, I cannot see my mouse cursor in blender. Rolling everything back to package versions at 1/21 resolves the issue.
I reported a bug in blender, but wanted to check here as well: https://projects.blender.org/blender/bl … ues/134391

I'm running wayland on a Nvidia 3080. I've tried both the nvidia and nvidia-open packages.

did you ever have your issue solved? I'm having the same issue.

Ah, yes. It seemed related to the update to hyprland 0.46, and I worked around it by adding this to hyprland.conf:

cursor {
    # Fixes nvidia issues
    no_hardware_cursors = true
}

Oddly, it seems that 0.46 is the version that is supposed to support nvidia hardware cursors: https://linuxiac.com/hyprland-0-46-wayl … -released/
