A support thread im sorry

I'm a fuckin Linux scrub, wanted to get into it because you can customise it to what you want, and JewSoft won't interfere as much

I'm starting off with ubuntu, installing with a live USB, but when I boot into the install menu my mouse cursor is stuck in the top left corner of the screen. However, I can click other places on the screen, as I booted from the USB to "try ubuntu", so the screen shows the mouse in the top left corner, but the mouse is actually elsewhere. I've googled this and tried heaps of solutions but the one person that seems to have my exact problem no one has answered.

I have an nvidia card, and two monitors, with the only change in position of the mouse swapping between the left corner in the first monitor, and the left corner in the second.

I have tried:
Using virtual console to see if any xinput pointers were interfering, none were, disconnected everything except the mouse. I have tried multiple mice. Swapped the graphics drivers from the ubuntu standard and the nvidia one.

No idea at this point. Made a shitty graphic to show where it gets stuck.

Did you try mint?

Try mint. Leave gaybuntu to die.

>Gaybuntu

you also had trouble to install Ubuntu ?

Welcome to Linux, you'll encounter countless dumb bugs like that. That's the price of freedom.

install gentoo

You could try Solus it's a really good OS that work out the box like Mint and Ubuntu. Solus is good after that i try it, but i still love Unity and i do not like anything else in the market right now.

Did you make all those changes on a persistent LiveUSB or is it installed already? If live, install it; if already installed, update it. If it still happens try a different DE, the best one after Unity is GNOME, Ubuntu GNOME. Don't fall for the meme of the snowflake distros or DEs like Solus and Cinnamon.

This.

i agree. mint is the way to go if you're windows refugee. If you really want Ubuntu go with a different flavor than Unity, Unity is really bad DE. Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, anything but Unity

forgot comment. Literally all the configuration of my linux box, I can copy paste it to other machines and have the same config on everything (modulo harddrives label)

The easy way is to reinstall your Linux into something else. Mint most likely... Or maybe Solus. I have never encountered this problem before and it sounds difficult to find the problem. You should always check out if everything runs fine by booting it in a USB first

just use windows 7. it werkz.

Linuxlite.
LXLE.
Mint.

Good luck. Your welcome.

Booted from the USB and same problem occurred

Happened on mint too

Try Antergos instead, Linux Mint is basically just a reskinned Ubuntu. Antergos should be using much more recent packages which means that bug might be fixed.

Just install Windows 10. Save yourself years of therapy and heart ache when you fail to find work arounds.

I already have windows 10, trying to dualboot. Not concerned with the amount of effort I have to put in, just trying to figure this one annoying shit out

Try a different ubuntu flavor? I use lubuntu and I can tell you it's exactly the same shit.

Seems X related. Try Fedora 25 beta, it uses Wayland by default.

But....how are they on fire if they are under the water?
