Hello, I have an issue resetting the layout on my computer. I’m using ubuntu 18.04 and when I click ok to restart unreal, it’s like the computer crashes. The mouse cursor still moves but it won’t click anything, the ctrl+alt+T for the terminal won’t work. It looks like a 2nd cursor is frozen in place with everything else. I’m forced to hard reboot the computer. I’m not sure why it’s happening.
That can be challenging to work our the root cause.
I use Pop!_OS 19.10 - Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and has fortunately been rock stable for me.
I would first make sure Ubuntu has all its updates. and then proceed from there to make sure your graphics drivers are upto date.
I’m running on a 1650 Super, so have Nvidia’s 440.44 release installed.
Cursor / gui problems could be GPU driver/kernel issue, hardware compatibility issue eg bios setting, hardware problem, perhaps a gui bug in a recent update, having no swap file, possibly other things.
You can also try waiting for 10-15 minutes or more to see if it changes. Not sure it will with this one but worth a try.
Thank you for your suggestions. I’m going to start from scratch with a different distro. Going to try the XFEC version of Manjaro and build Unreal again. Thank you!
