Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1212460
Animated busy mouse cursor is missing in VNC session.
Last modified: 2017-05-31 16:30:04 EDT
Description of problem: When starting an application in GNOME (i.e. Firefox), the mouse pointer should turn in a spinning icon (animated). However in stead of this animated pointer, there is no pointer shown at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tigervnc-server-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - On RHEL6.6 system install tigervnc-server-1.1.0-16.el6.x86_64. - As a user start a vncserver: ~~~ $ vncserver ~~~ - Connect to the VNC session with a client. - Start Firefox from the GNOME panel. - Watch the mouse pointer disappear until Firefox has started (if the VNC client option "Show dot when no cursor" is set, a square dot will be shown) Actual results: Not getting animated/normal cursor. Expected results: Should get animated cursor. Additional info: Downgrading tigervnc-server to tigervnc-server-1.0.90-0.17.20110314svn4359.el6.x86_64 resolves the issue.
I see the same problem. I use the Centos 6.7(Final), and I installed the default vnc-server which is the tigervnc-server-1.1.0, and the xrdp (from EPEL, and I follow those steps in this page: http://ajmatson.net/wordpress/2014/01/install-xrdp-remote-desktop-to-centos-6-5/ )
OK, I test the pure tigervnc-server 1.1.0 running on Centos 6.7. If I use the Vncviewer(I use the VNC viewer from RealVNC under Windows XP), and I see the busy mouse cursor becomes a black dot point. But if I use the xrdp, then I see the busy mouse cursor just disappeared(missing). So this is the big problem.
