`none` is wrong for Ubuntu Frame cursor configuration

[clorichel]

@alan_g be aware cursor=none does NOT work, when cursor=null works as expected

Looks like a documentation typo/issue. You might want to adjust:

• the documentation in the initial thread above
• the defaults for /var/snap/ubuntu-frame/current/frame.config: the comment on that file also suggests “none”: # Mouse pointer to use (auto|none|software)
• the https://github.com/MirServer/ubuntu-frame/blob/master/REFERENCE.md file: the --help extract is okay, but not the config snap configuration option

That’s the places I saw it, can’t say where else but you might have some ideas

@clorichel are you confusing the instructions meant for mir-kiosk with those for Ubuntu Frame?

@alan_g

are you confusing the instructions meant for mir-kiosk with those for Ubuntu Frame?

For sure, I just might! And I’m sorry if I’m adding to the confusion

Yet, looking at https://github.com/MirServer/ubuntu-frame/blob/master/REFERENCE.md (which is the reference for Ubuntu Frame) the cursor option is inaccurately described on The config snap configuration option paragraph, and the excerpt this document took from a /var/snap/ubuntu-frame/current/frame.config file is still inaccurate to date if I’m not mistaken:

• install ubuntu-frame
• cat /var/snap/ubuntu-frame/current/frame.config
• it contains # Mouse pointer to use (auto|none|software) which is wrong, none did NOT hide the mouse cursor on my installation
• it should contain # Mouse pointer to use (auto|null|software) which is working, null did hide the mouse cursor on my installation

Did I miss something here?
