Can't see cursor in 13.10

I'm trying out Ubuntu 13.10 but I can't see the cursor.

Can anybody help me? I'm a total newbie in the whole Linux thing and I would like some help.


Solution 1:

I had the same problem and for me this command:

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

made the trick.

To actually type it without a working mouse, type ctrl-alt-t --- you should have a (focused) terminal where you can type in.
