I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland for a kiosk system and need a way to hide the mouse cursor.

Most answers such as this one rely on x applications that won't work in Wayland so looking for a new solution.

  • Are you using Ubuntu Frame, as suggested in a comment on your other question? if you are, there is a config option to hide mouse cursors, cursor=null, see https://mir-server.io/docs/ubuntu-frame-configuration-options – Esther Jun 20 '22 at 19:47
  • @Esther no I am just using Firefox in kiosk mode, Ubuntu Frame looks promising but this user had stability issues with the browser so I haven't tried it yet – Baa Jun 20 '22 at 21:01

You could replace the theme pointer with a transparent pointer. xcursorgen comes with the x11-apps package.

First I generated X11 cursor file with xcursorgen from transparent png file and then replaced all X11 files in /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/

Alternatively you can install a theme that has a transparent pointer.
