 Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2018 10:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] LXDE Mouse Cursor List Empty |
 |
|
I'm running a fairly new desktop PC with LXDE where choice of xcursors is controlled with the program lxappearance, "Customize Look and Feel" under Preferences on the menu. I have a number of cursor installed which are found in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/ such as Adwaita, handhelds, redglass, Silver, whiteglass.
The problem is that when running "Customize Looks and Feel" the tab "Mouse Cursor" is an empty list, with a preview that looks like Adwaita.
I have found that I can hand jam a line into ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/default.conf in the format:
| Code: | | sGtk/CursorThemeName=Adwaita |
and change the mouse cursor theme manually. That's neither right nor handy.
What do I have to do to help my list of mouse cursors to show up on the Mouse Cursor tab in lxappearance? My other LXDE-based computers do not have this problem.

I've answered my own question. I had to create symbolic links in /usr/share/icons to the cursor themes installed in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11 as follows:
| Code: | ln -s ../cursors/xorg-x11/whiteglass .
ln -s ../cursors/xorg-x11/redglass .
ln -s ../cursors/xorg-x11/Silver .
ln -s ../cursors/xorg-x11/handhelds .
ln -s ../cursors/xorg-x11/Adwaita Adwaita2 |
Note that I had to name the symbolic link Adwaita2 because there is already a directory named Adwaita in /usr/share/icons. That's all. Works fine now.
