teamviewer: no local/remote cursor

[Attila Horvath]

All

I've installed Win7 [VM] along with windows-tools as well as portable Teamviewer 8.x to remotely access Win7 VM's desktop.

I can access the VM remotely via Teamviewer, the screen is painted correctly EXCEPT neither the local nor remote cursors are visible. I'm assuming this is an issue w/ Qubes. I've not experienced this problem when running teamviewer with in any other environment (Windows, Linux, etc...).

When I move the mouse around on remote machine, I can see the cursor's coordinates are being conveyed to the VM - icons are highlighted as I hover over them but the cursor itself is not visible.

ideas/suggestions?

Thx

Attila

The mouse cursor is hidden by the Qubes Tools to avoid showing two
cursors (Windows' one and dom0's). We'll probably make that an option so
it's not always hidden if the user chooses so.

You can try going to control panel - mouse - pointer options and
changing the cursor there.

Change that to "yes and no"?!?!?! <:-(

It appears that changing the 'pointer scheme' reveals the cursor so 'yes' that solves the problem. However...

When I remotely connect the VM immediately after restarting the VM, the cursor is not visible. It appears that the act of going into the control panel and changing the mouse's 'pointer scheme' reveals the cursor but, immediately after a reboot, the cursor is NOT visible. <8-(

I just updated all my VMs today. Problem w/ mouse cursor not appearing in TeamViewer via remote access still persists.

Anyone else have this problem or just me?

Thx

I'm stuck with TeamViewer on Fedora :P ... if I have any advance with TeamViewer in fedora or Windows 7 I will give you feedback :P

Hi Attila,
I also had some troubles with TeamViewer 9. What I did was... I downloaded http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.tar.gz and then uncompress it and run it without any priviledges from my typical fedora template, and without install it. And it works fine connecting to a windows 7. Hope it helps.

I solved this issue by changing the mouse pointer scheme in the remote PC to 'Windows Black'.  If you need the instructions:

1. Right click on the remote desktop and select 'Personalize'
2. Select 'Change Mouse Pointer' from the common actions bar on the left.
3. A 'Mouse Properties' dialog will appear.  On the Pointers tab use the scheme drop-down to select 'Windows Black (system scheme)'.
4. Click 'Apply', then close all dialogs.

You can enable cursor with a registry setting described here:

Transition to the new website seems to have mangled the formatting a
bit but it's readable.
