[SOLVED] mouse not working in Zorin OS 9

I can boot to my Zorin Desktop but there is no mouse cursor. This may be a result of using the clean function or other commands to free up space. There is also a message on the desktop about network not working. Is there a way to get the mouse back using the terminal?

Hi,

open a terminal with Ctrl + Alt +t and then type the following commands:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

followed by

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

Also try:

Code:

sudo apt-get –fix-missing install

The above command downloads and installs any missing packages on your system.

Code:

sudo apt-get –fix-broken install

The above command downloads and installs any broken dependencies on your system.

Also try this command and then reboot on all accounts!:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

To restart using the terminal, type:

Code:

sudo reboot

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks for the reply. I since got it working by setting it to boot into the previous kernel number of Zorin

Hi,

good to hear, keep on crunching those updates and wait for a newer kernel!.
