hello
lately when the cursor appears it is frozen and not animated.
why?
hi
a little more information would be helpful.
the output of these two commands would be useful.
inxi --verbosity=8 --filter
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.interface | grep cursor
post the respective content as code via the button: </>
Mod edit:- Note that sudo is not required to run inxi.
Your post has been edited to reflect this. Cheers.
As has been said;
Please provide system information as described (below) and pleaseā¦ read and absorb the link (also below) entitled āHow to Postā.
You have been a user of this forum long enough to understand the basic requirements of asking for Support. 
Regards.
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
Update Announcements
The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
System Information
While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes itās better to ask your system directly; 
Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:
inxi --filter --verbosity=8
or the short form:
inxi -zv8
- inxi man pages (Arch Manual)
Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. Itās equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
Highly Recommended

no, unfortunately this is not a common problem, it works on my machine 
even if i switch to your cursor-theme it still works, the only difference is that i use the 6.14 kernel, but i almost donāt think thatās the reason.
you can try to change the cursor theme? 
so i have no idea at the moment, but maybe someone else.
never mind.
it is not such a big dealā¦
my focus was more about letting you know about itā¦
tnx anyway
In the interests of improving the standards of support in Linux, I would like to politely request that you improve the standards of your interactions here.
- You mention an issue with your systems.
- Firstly with the mention of someone using a 6.14 kernel (one possible difference) you should consider rebooting to a different kernel to test the theory.
- Change the cursor theme to verify that it is not a specific issue with one theme on your machine (i.e. is your problem ONE theme, or MANY themes?).
Your response ānever mindā is unfortunately dismissive, disrespectful, and disappointing considering that you also decided to complain in another thread about the quality of Linux Support.
Linux Support starts here, with you.

Off topic;
I suppose, traditionally, I am a mono-themist; though sometimes I do subscribe to the many themes theology.
It just depends on my state of mind, or my desire for just a breath of change.

So you are a panthemist? 
Iāll get my coatā¦

I was rather impressed with your inventiveness, though surely as polytheists worship many Gods (Greek) then a polythematist would worship many themes.
As you, yourself do worship your theme, then I assume youāre more of a Monothematistā¦ or perhaps an aesthetic liturgist might be more appropriate. 
These matters must be taken extremely seriously, as accuracy is of vital importance in such a valuable technical thread.
