Description Brian Daniels 2016-11-25 20:33:52 UTC

Description of problem:
Mouse cursor is invisible on KDE desktop.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot Fedora KDE 25 spin from USB stick.
2. 
3.

Actual results:
After KDE desktop displays, mouse cursor will be visible in upper left hand corner of screen, but will not move.  Right-clicking will reveal that the mouse is present and moving, but invisible.  This makes it impractical to install Fedora 25 to disk.

Expected results:
Functional visible mouse cursor.

Additional info:
Video card is Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070, CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700

Comment 1 Brian Daniels 2016-11-25 22:19:12 UTC

Updated this bug as it occurs on the default Gnome live image as well with Gnome.  Same symptoms of invisible cursor.

Comment 2 apparat 2016-11-28 15:17:58 UTC

Same issue here. Using a Geforce GTX 1070 as well. Mouse is a Logitech G9.
I was able to install Fedora 25 using the keyboard. But the issue still persists after installing to disk.

Let me know if I can provide some logs or something.

Comment 3 apparat 2016-11-29 09:46:03 UTC

I fixed it by installing the proprietary nvidia driver using the negativo17 repo.
my steps were:

$ sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-nvidia.repo
$ sudo dnf upgrade
$ sudo dnf install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings kernel-devel

after rebooting the mouse is working as expected.

Comment 5 lmanning17 2016-12-17 10:05:02 UTC

Same issue here, NVIDIA GTX 1070, Intel 6700K.

Comment 6 Ben Skeggs 2016-12-18 23:54:04 UTC

The issue is known, and fixed in patches pending for Linux 4.10.  F25 will get a backport of all of this stuff at some point.

There's a copr[1] available with a current backport of what's queued.

Ben.

Comment 7 lmanning17 2016-12-18 23:55:02 UTC

Would it be possible for a refresh of the install image?

Comment 8 Kevin Kofler 2016-12-19 00:47:34 UTC

Fedora does not officially respin install images (including live images), ever. The unofficial live respins at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respins/ will eventually pick up the fixes, once the maintainer gets F25 respins going and once the fixes will actually reach F25 stable updates.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:55:17 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:17:52 UTC

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
