Mouse pointer is hidden


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Fedora 27

GNOME shell 3.26.2

OS X 10.13.4

Synergy 2.0.9

I have seen this posted across the web regarding when using a mouse associated with a mac laptop, sharing this across Fedora using Gnome may hide the mouse cursor. There is no problem with the connection itself. If I use the keyboard and mouse connected to the Fedora desktop, I can control my mac fine and see the mouse pointer.

To correct the issue, I understand you can set: 

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

This is a question more or less for Linux pros. When I try to set this, the config is not present. Has this setting name changed? I see...

org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse

I have tried to search for this but most posts are from last year that I can see. What is the correct setting?

Do you mean that sometimes when sharing from your Mac, you'll randomly lose control of your Linux computer?

I’ll lose the cursor and or mouse pointer. I can copy and paste, but have to use the Linux desktop mouse to paste. Yes. It makes the Linux desktop unusable.
