Invisible mouse cursor

[Devil2548]

Currently using a host pc running windows 10 home(yes I know about the bad performance) with the in-game computer running Ubuntu version 20.04 LTS. Windows version is 1909 build 18363.900 and if it will help here is the latest.log

So the cursor is invisble in the VM?

[Hacker1245]

Seems this might be an issue with Ubuntu in theVM as the cursor is invisible for me too.

[Delta2Force]

If you access the VM directly through VirtualBox, the cursor is visible though right?

[Hacker1245]

Yes

[Devil2548]

I apologize for not responding as my sleep schedule is currently fairly messed up, but I figured I should respond as well. Hacker1245 describes it just like how it is happening to me. The in-game screen won't show the cursor, but if I access the VM directly through VirtualBox then the cursor shows up just fine.

[Delta2Force]

Thats a weird problem. Does the cursor at least flash when it's moved or something?

[Devil2548]

No. The cursor remains completely invisible no matter if it is still or moving. The only way to see where the cursor is located is by going off of the fact that certain buttons change in texture when you move the cursor over them(and by right-clicking and seeing where the menu pops up.)

i'm using the mod v1.4.3, and the am having same problem

windows vm is fine but linux vm no cursor, also win7 has no internet

I just ran into this problem on a Pop!_OS and a Lubuntu VM (windows 10 pro 2004 host, VBox 6.1.12), and after testing with VirtualBox itself, outside of the mod, I think I found the cause, or, at least one: VirtualBox's Mouse Pointer Integration feature. Even when it's disabled, guests that support it will not draw a cursor, despite it being able to interact with everything on the desktop.

I think it is because the default VirtualBox mouse mode is a tablet, maybe x11 hides the cursor when it is in tablet mode?

[Faithy3]

default mouse mode in VirtualBox is PS/2 Mouse, USB tablet mode shows the same behavior.

Arch linux, exactly the same problem, no cursor inside Linux Mint ISO in-game. I can click and right click, but cursor is invisible.

Same here - I'm using the latest Linux Mint and the cursor exists and works, but is invisible.

[Ione15]

Me too Linux mint xfce (latest version + up to date)

I might have a idea why cursor is not visible, but i will check later. https://github.com/Delta2Force/MCVmComputers/blob/1caa340b61cf8b4a991d45e8405dcd3215f60fd2/src/main/java/mcvmcomputers/client/gui/GuiFocus.java#L84

[CoccodrillooXDS]

@Meister1593 I'm checking that option out

[CoccodrillooXDS]

I've checked but it doesn't do anything, if not blocking totally the mouse input

I don't think that this would cause the VirtualBox cursor to disappear. It only makes the GLFW cursor (your host OS cursor) disappear

[Devil2548]

First of all, sorry for kind of just leaving this issue abandoned. Secondly, I think Faithy3 was right when he said that Virtual Box's Mouse Pointer Integration Feature was to blame. I decided to test it by using an OS that did not support Virtual Box's Guest Additions. The OS was Mandrake 9.2(https://archive.org/details/Mandrake92). To my suprise, the cursor showed up just fine.
