    Solved Need help installing new mouse pointer

    AndrewP I have this cursor (Bronze Constantine) on my older desktop running LM21, but I got it a few years ago and I know that it was not from the above supplied website ( as I recall, it was off the Pling page).

    Yes, mine is connected to the Wifi network as well. Thanks for the link, but downloading the indicated driver made no difference. I tried printing this post and it still won't print.

    Solved Need help installing new mouse pointer

    Yeah, I was thinking about it last night and somewhere between LM20 and LM21, some kind of coding was left out, changed, or put in. Now we need some people, much smarter than me, to reconstruct some of these. "The sun will come out tomorrow......."

    Solved Need help installing new mouse pointer

    Hey, are you feeling any better? Well I had the idea that upgrading to LM 21.3 might overwrite the program and fix the corrupted whatever it is. Well, that didn't work! So, I think I am going to install LM 22 and start over. It seems to be a good distro, fairly stable, and more refined. Doubt...

    Deeply appreciate the reply's gentlemen; Alexzee; Isn't that what we did in post #7? Sorry, but are you saying that I need to perform these procedures as root in the command line of terminal.

    Solved Need help installing new mouse pointer

    I had another thought.....Like I said, when I got this it was set up with another user in place with his password. I set up a new user profile for myself and deleted the old one. Is it possible that the old profile/password is still in place or didn't get deleted?

    I recently purchased a refurbished laptop on ebay. While I am not an accomplished Linux user and a bit of a noob, everything has been running fine so far, except I can not install a new mouse pointer pack. I've been working on this for 3 days.
