My mouse cursor doesn’t move and click ubuntu 17.04

by

I am new to ubuntu17.04 . I installed alongside windows 10. I didn’t have any problem when I was installing it but after installing and restarting, mouse cursor disappears. I make it visible by using gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false. After this mouse moves at first black screen but when desktop loads, mouse stops wherever it is. I tried many ways but those didn’t work.

I use :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install unity
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
sudo shutdown -r now

This works one time but after I use my Windows 10 and return back to Ubuntu that problem returns 🙁 .
How do I fix this?

Answer

Type xinput in terminal and note down the id of your touchpad.

Then type xinput enable <id>.
