It looks like you're logged in with a regular user account, so run
dconf-editor as user not root.
I tried that, at long long last (working without a mouse cursor
is like swimming in icy-cold molasses); but once dconf-editor was open,
I couldn't find a file for it to edit that affected the mouse.
In dconf-editor on the left side you should see the schemas groups,
expand org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor to see the settings
mentioned in the above bug report.
I looked again, long and thoroughly, clicking on little arrows to
expand things, and never even found Groups.
I get this as user :
[btth@Hbsk3 ~]$ dconf-editor &
[1] 12218
[btth@Hbsk3 ~]$
** (dconf-editor:12218): WARNING **: dconf-schema.vala:330: Unknown
property on <schema>, extends
(It puts the cursor on the next line (blank), but doesn't give me
my prompt back till I hit ^C.)
While I was at it, I also tried the same command as root -- and
saw nothing any different.
Alternatively you could use gsettings in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
That did help, and I'm a lot happier than I was -- I have a
visible cursor again. Many, many thanks!
It's tiny, despite being set to size 48, but it is there. Now if
only I can get to whatever governs its size, color, etc. ...
Probably not clear. As root, run dconf-editor. The left pane will
probably contain a list of stuff like:
> apps
> ca
> desktop
> org
> system
There may be some others, too. Anyway, click on the arrow to the left
of "org". Below that, click the arrow to the left of "gnome". Below
that, click the arrow to the left of "settings-daemon". Below that,
click the arrow to the left of "plugins", then click on "cursor". In
normal menu parlance:
org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> cursor
Hope that helps you find it.
