Bug Description
On opening up xubuntu 14.04 the cursor/pointer arrow freezes/locks up on mewhen trying to put my password in on the logong window. Sometimes it unfreezes but most of the time I'm locked onto that screen and I must do a 'hard crash', aka shutdown the computer with the on/off button, I don't like doing that at all. So then I turn on the computer hoping that it isn't frozen, the cursor but most of the times it is, very frustrating to me. So then I might go to the windows side of the partitioned HDD to have the cursor act normal, stay there for a bit and restart the computer and then maybe the cursor will be 'not frozen to logon. If that doesn't work I might go to one of the ubuntu recovery modes to see if I can get it working there and then restart the computer again. I think that is all i do and i hope this issue can be resolved sooner than later.
