By default, the mouse cursor is hidden. The following instructions provide a method to expose the mouse cursor on Raspberry Pi that's running Menuboard Manager.

  1. Ctrl + alt + t to open the terminal

  2. In the Terminal type pm2 stop 0 to stop the app

  3. To show the mouse cursor, you must habilitate it: In the Terminal, type sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to open the text editor

  4. Scroll down until you find a line that says [Seat:*]

  5. Comment out the line that says xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms -nocursor by adding a # at the beginning of the line

  6. Uncomment the next line xserver-command=X -S 0 -dpms by removing the #

  7. Ctrl O then Enter to save

  8. Ctrl X to exit the text editor

  9. Back in the terminal sudo reboot
