Question: My mouse pointer became invisible after some updates after I upgraded to 15.04 from 14.10. 
In all standard settings the mouse pointer is activated (system settings, dconf...)
I also tried different cursor icons with no success.

The pointer is sometimes visible after I shut down and reboot the system. But only sometimes and I couldn't figure out a patterns why it sometimes shows up.

I found the following solution which did not work

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

```

Any help appreciated! thanks!

Answer: 
Have you tried this:

```
 gsettings set org.settings.daemon-plugins.cursor -KEY=s.cursor -VALUE=false

```

and it might work fine this way.
Well, On Ubuntustudio 16.04, I found out that if I get the mouse to hover the button for the app menu, and start to browse, it comes right back no problem!!
