hello, i have installed squeak4.1 from http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-4.0.3.2202-linux_i386.sh (i had to do a sudo sh Squeak-4.0.3.2202-linux_i386.sh) under ubuntu 10.04. everything seems to work ok except i do not see a mouse pointer when the cursor enters the window. the mouse works ok, i can use world menu etc, just without the pointer.
can anybody give me a hint of what might be wrong? thanks very much, wolfgang

I have not ever heard of this happening, so I can't say what it might be. Can you say if the problem is associated with the VM or with the image? In other words, if you run some other Squeak image using this same VM, does it work? Or if you install a different version of the VM, does the Squeak 4.1 image work?

i tried installing, using the ubuntu software center, the official "Squeak" and "eToys" packages. both give me the same behaviour as described in the original bug report. (the vm is in /usr/lib/squeak/3.11.3.-2147, so i guess that is the vm version i am using).
i am using ubuntu 10.04 on an oldish sony vaio z600, ca 600mhz cpu, 500mb ram
any help or hint is very much appreciated. thanks, wolfgang

Since I never saw anybody else report this, I'd suspect a problem in your display driver, rather than the Squeak VM.

Hi Wolfgang, try turning off "visual effects" from menu system/preferences/appearance and see if that helps.

one more data point: while squeak is running (no visible cursor), i switch to text (ctrl-alt-f1) and back to x (ctrl-alt-f7), i get a big (approx 100x100) cursor consisting of vertical white stripes (looks kinda like bar code).
thanks, wolfgang

looks like a xserver bug or misconfiguration. Look into /var/log/Xorg*log for any errors (look for lines with EE).
Save your /etc/xorg.conf file and reset configuration with the command:
gksudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
HTH .. Subbu

i have finally solved the problem by disabling the hardware cursor for the neomagic driver. (there was no xorg.conf; i have attached to this email the one i have created) thanks to all who have helped! regards wolfgang
