Cursor getting stuck in launcher

  • 772

It's a weird issue. The cursor gets stuck in place but still moves so that if I click I click on what I aimed to but the cursor is not where it should be. It only happens in the launcher. I tried this to no avail.

  1. EDIT:

    first do:

    modprobe -r psmouse

    modprobe psmouse

    If it will not help, boot into grub (by holding shift) and perform RAM check.

    another possible solution would be reinstalling drivers:

    sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-input-mouse

    1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 when you arrive at the login screen.

    2. Run sudo service lightdm stop to stop the X server.

    3. Install NVidia-370:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-370 nvidia-settings

    4. Add blacklist nouveau to bottom of file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.

    5. Run sudo update-initramfs -u.

    6. Run sudo reboot to restart.

    Your mouse should have now appeared correctly! Please reply stating if this solution worked or not.
