[lubuntu-devel] 2nd Hirsute Hippo rebuild (Klose)--mouse cursor = 16 horizontal lines?

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Thomas:

Thanks for the reply and the thoughts on the kernel options . . . it's
somewhat "non-critical" because I have other operational distros to log
into . . . .

As far as "rebooting" goes, I believe the "0-14" kernel was installed last
week?? and today I had to reboot 3x just to revive from suspend, actually
on the 4th time I just shut it down to end the misery.  Each time I went to
grub "advanced options" and selected the top listed "recovery" option to
run dpkg so that the mouse cursor was an actual cursor . . . and uname -r
still showed "0-13" as the "running" kernel . . . .

Historically I've had other editions of Lu beta implode under normal apt
upgrading . . . just reporting the details of the implosion as it is
developing . . . .
