Ubuntu Installation :: Cursor Won't Change Properly Anymore?
May 14, 2010
I've been using a version of the Vista cursor that I made green since I got Ubuntu 9.10. Unfortunately, when I switched to Ubuntu 10.4, it... broke. The green cursor shows up in firefox and the busy cursor works sometimes, but most of the time it just used the normal DMZ-White cursor.What changed? How can I fix this?I only made one cursor size since that's all I would need. Do cursors need to support multiple sizes to work now or something?

Whenever I change themes to the azenis theme in ubuntu 10.04 the cursor will not change themes properly for example it will change to the proper cursor when I hover over a close button (I'm using emerald themes too) when hovering in certain programs (like firefox) and when moving icons. I have tried to change the theme to another one reboot to hopefully "reset" the mouse then change back but it didn't work. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit.

I have dual monitors, and I was running Minecraft in a window on the external screen and I accidentally pressed F11, which made the game appear on both screens at once (I have dual monitors), one with the mouse and one without, when I pressed F11 again both screens flickered but nothing changed. I could move the mouse to close the window but it didn't respond, so I restarted, and now the cursor is stuck against the left side of the screen and doesn't respond to the touchpad (unfortunately I don't have a USB mouse to try out) It's a Samsung R580 laptop running Ubuntu 10.10, with an ATI HD545V graphics card. just recently installed Ubuntu for the first time and would really like to get to back to using it. Feel free to patronize me, I won't get offended.

A wifi card with the ath5k driver used to work properly until a couple of weeks ago. Now, if I ping the router the response times sometimes are okay but often fluctuate into the range of many hundreds or thousands of milliseconds. Occasionally the connection breaks down entirely.My laptop, which uses a different card, works fine (typical ping response times of 2 ms), so its probably not the router which is faulty.I use opensuse 11.3 x86_64, currently with the 2.6.34.7-0.7 desktop kernel and knetworkmanager

Am running Ubuntu NBR as the sole OS on my Dell Mini 9. Switched over in March to 9.10 NBR. Everything worked fine.Upgraded to 10.04 when it was released. It's awesome EXCEPT for this busy cursor thing.As soon as I log in, all the time my cursor is the spinning wheel of busyness.... It works just as a normal cursor would - my computer also does not seem to be slower due to any operations.If I open an application, the cursor will behave as usual within the window but if I more my cursor to the title bar or switch out of the application, the "busy cursor" resumes.

When I go to the appearance preferences in Ubuntu 10.04 w/GNOME and try to select a cursor different from the default, nothing happens, the cursor refuses to change. Logging out and in doesn't work. Over the weeks I've played around with this machine a bit, installing and uninstalling various DEs such as Kubuntu and LXDE; I have a feeling something messed up my cursor config while I was changing stuff, but I don't know what or where. Is there any quick way to troubleshoot why the cursor isn't changing?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 When my cursor hovers over an icon for not more than a second, if that, the folder opens; it's the same with links. I barely have to touch Firefox, and it comes up. I'd like to be able to click on a folder rather than just pass over it. Surely there must be a setting that can be change

I have a very affordable Linux Alpha 400 2.4. I need to change back to the black regular cursor. What I am getting know is a red cursor that does not let me indent and write, when I do it brings the text under this sentence along with it.

I have been trying for quite some days to change the size and theme of the cursor . I was expecting that there be something in preferences in GNOME v2 but is not there (Is there some enhancement there in GNOME v3?) Anyways, after googling quite a bit, I came across a tip to change the the cursor theme. sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme The thing to do here is choose some alternative theme and logout and login back.
[Code].....
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: I haven't been able to find how to change cursor sizes as well and what the current size is? I did find another command xrdb -query but that also doesn't seem to be much helpful either :-

If you set your mouse for double click is it possible to change cursor style for hover icons?Currently the cursor looks like it is going to do single click:This does not make sense. It should show regular cursorAnd another misbehavior for double click occurs in Power Applet.Sleep and Hibernate icons require single click, but Settings icon requires double click:

I have a minimal debian install, with not much more than enough to run scrotwm, I want to change the basic arrow cursor to a png I have. Is there a simpler lower level way of achieving this without having to install and modify an existing cursor theme. I installed x11-apps just to get xcursorgen... though idk if this has been an essential step or not. Anyway, I have run it on my arrow.png/arrow.cursor to create a "default" cursor file... though am lost as to where to go from there. I have no idea where the existing default cursor is located, though i suspect it's a font cursor not a icon cursor...

I often need to change a small part of long environment variable (especially, e.g., paths), and do it either by pasting the thing into an editor and changing it there, or the equivalent.
Is there some small convenience utility to edit environment variables with a cursor on the command line?
I suppose I could always whip one up, but am hoping there's already something that I'm just not aware of.

I recently reinstalled Wheezy on my laptop and after the install was finished I installed the brcmsmac driver, using the instructions on this wiki page: [URL]. I have the device BCM43224. I noticed though that this driver seems worse compared to the proprietary broadcom-sta I had on my previous installation and so I would like to switch. I know that there is a guide on how to install the proprietary drivers on the wiki ( [URL]), but it feels like i should remove the free driver before I install the proprietary one, and I dont know how to do this .
So my question is: what is the proper way of changing from the open brcmsmac driver to the proprietary broadcom-sta driver?

Im running netbook remix on a eeepc 1005ha. It is my only OS and Im loving it except for one obnoxious quirk. It randomly cuts text and randomly pastes it. If there is something in the clipboard, it will usually paste that, but just as often it will cut random text and paste that. The pastes occur when the cursor focus jumps back to the location of the cursor on the screen. I dont know a better way to phrase that, but thats what it is doing. Say... I put the cursor over the word "pastes" in the paragraph above... even though Im typing in this paragraph, the focus will "jump" to the cursors physical locale (the word "pastes") and then paste whatever is in the clipboard. If the cursor is outside of the textbox, the page will jump to the bottom.
This behavior occurs across programs and in any place text can be entered. I can find no rhyme or reason for it... it just... happens. Sometimes even when Im away from my computer, so its not like Im hitting some key on accident. I have loved everything about this ubuntu distro, but this issue is just toany obnoxious. Writing psych papers on this thing is going to be near impossible if I dont get this fixed before I go back to school.

Problem-PC automatically boots into a black screen with blinking cursor. No message or nothing
I have 4 HD. Primary drive has Windows Vista, Secondary no OS installed. Sata1 HD Ubuntu 10.04, Sata2 Windows 7. Prior to installing windows 7 all was perfect but once I did it, grub got all screwed up. The only way I can boot into grub is if I manually select my Sata1 which has Ubuntu on it and only then it allows me to select Linux or Windows OS. How can I change that so it can boot up normally as before? I'm assuming that grub was installed in the primary drive which has vista on it, but once I installed windows 7 it got deleted and when I tried reinstalling Ubuntu, the grub was not installed in the primary drive.

My primary OS (Windows 7) which I had installed before ubuntu is not in the Grub Menu and I can't figure out how to boot it up. (It's not in menu.lst either)
I just installed ubuntu, I partitioned it by shrinking my window 7 partition (in windows) and formatted the free space for ubuntu. I can see the windows file system and access the files (143 GB Filesystem in Places) but I can't boot to it

Last night I performed the upgrade routine from 10.04 to 10.10 on an Aspire One netbook. The netbook performed flawlessly under 10.04. Since the upgrade the computer boots fine, except no cursor ever appears. Nor is there the "ghost cursor" that I have read about. What do I do now, attempt a reinstall using an ISO image instead of the upgrade routine, perhaps?

I am trying to install any version of ubuntu (I even tried so far another version called jollicloud) but the result is always the same...The computer is a Dell Mini 9. I have pulled out it's SSD because it has broken.I managed to install about some months ago an ubuntu netbook version (10.04, not sure) which all worked fine from a 8GB usb stick Here are my steps:
1. Download ubuntu either netbook or standard version
2. Make a bootable flash with Unetbootin from ubuntu or other programs from windows
3. Put the flash disk and the second 8GB flash to the dell mini 9
4. Boot Ubuntu live from the first flash (sometimes I think I must put the second flash after the boot so it finds only the live version... If I have put both flashes sometimes it won' t boot)
5. install ubuntu to the other flash (to the 8GB flash drive)
6. reboot
and then...only a blinking cursor is appearing to the top left of the screen with nothing else happening...Shift does not do anything.I have some suspicion that there is no Grub at all but I am not sure for this.I am sure there is a way to make it because I ve done it before, but I don't remeber how!

I've just done the upgrade from Karmic 9.10 to 10.4 and I'm having some grapich issues; the windows first of all. I can't reduce them to icons, I can't enlarge them and when using firefox I can't even move it's window. Instead of the normal cursor I've a X and when I tried to take a screen shot with the stamp button nothing has happened.

I decided to swap my media center PC over to Kubuntu after I had some issues with the Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 update. It has had Ubuntu on it for probably 3 years now. Most notably, the same issue is occuring now with any installer later than 9.04 which leads me to believe it is all Grub2 related.
The install runs without errors, but after booting from HD I get only a blinking insertion cursor. No Grub at all. I've held in shift, nada. I booted to Live CD and reinstalled Grub manually but still no love. It acts as though Grub simply isn't there.
I do have a second hard drive in the box that has Ubuntu 9.04 on it that I use as a backup if the OS HD gets messed up, but it is second in boot order and shouldn't be causing an issue. Besides, if that HD was booting it would be giving me legacy grub, not a blinking cursor.

I was able to successfully install Tweetdeck and Adobe Air using the instructions here: http://www.technixupdate.com/install...-ubuntu-linux/
BUT after I closed the program, when I tried to re-open it, it wouldn't load anymore. It would show that it is "Starting Tweetdeck" but it would not lead to anything - it would just close.
So I tried to uninstall everything and re-install from scratch. But the same thing happened - the program would not load.
I tried to isolate the issue by trying to install another AIR application. When I double-click on the icon or click on install using Adobe AIR, it would not run. So that only means that the issue is with Adobe AIR.
Here's what I did code...
It will then load the installer. Go through the step-by-step process until it's finished.
Install Tweetdeck again (Just double-click on its .air file).

After an update firefox doesn't load anymore. Whenever I try to install anything apt-get fails and warns me about broken firefox packages. It is mentioning firefox branding and chrome something (the latter seems to have gone away after I removed firefox via synaptic) apt-get install -f fails also.

I was running 10.04 on my Asus EEE PC. Today I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, but with lots of regrets. The complete desktop changed. I don't even know how to access the system settings anymore. I just wanted to start up the Twonky Media server from my personal folder again, which resides in my personal user folder, but I cannot find the folder at all! Shame on the Ubuntu team to throw around the user experience so much. The Ubuntu Linux distribution has gone back to a nerdy level, I hoped it had recovered from that. Make-the-user-feel-at-home! Is that so difficult?
Where is my Favorite group, where is my System group, where is my personal Home user folder? I'm sure I can find them on my own, but it's a shame that my user experience has been taken into a rolercoaster. Why make it so difficult on the user Ubuntu, why?
