I'm trying to connect to my Fathers Kubuntu machine to help him upgrade and install software.
I am able to connect to the machine and see the desktop. I also have full control over it, but the pointer icon is stuck in the top left of the screen. Using trial and error I can work out where the pointer icon should be but it's a pain in the neck and is taking way to long to sort stuff out.
The colours are a bit screwy too, but I'm not really bothered about that.
So I turn to people more knowledgeable than I in hope for the solutions.
1) Have any of you experienced the same "invisible" pointer before and if so how did you fix it?
2) (optional) is there a way to correct the colour issues I'm facing when connected to the other machine? Everything looks normal until I click the mouse or type into dialogue boxes, then the colours appear inverted.
