Can't see a cursor when I launch alacritty via Linux making it unusable via a fresh install...
Am running a virtualized Ubuntu 24.04 Linux through UTM on my Apple M2 Macbook Pro.
Everything (individual apps, window resizing, etc) running through Kubuntu is rendering correctly, by the way.
Installed alacritty 0.13.2 using apt: sudo apt install alacritty
~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml:
live_config_reload = true[window]decorations = "full"dynamic_padding = falsedynamic_title = truestartup_mode = "Windowed"[env]TERM = "xterm-256color"[scrolling]history = 10000multiplier = 3[mouse]hide_when_typing = true[cursor]style = "Block"unfocused_hollow = true[shell]program = "/usr/bin/bash"[font]size = 14[font.normal]family = "MesloLGS NF"style = "Regular"When I launch Alacritty from the command line, I just get the window without any cursor or controls (seems like dead window)?
That vertical bar is my mouse cursor...
Tried to see that's happening behind-the-scenes:
alacritty --print-eventsHere's the output:
