After crashing my Ubuntu 16.04 with installing nvidia drivers I installed Ubuntu 16.10
However my cursor is not moving anymore. It stays in the upper left corner. It is moving invisible (detected through hovering over icons)
I installed Ubuntu without moving mouse…
I tried following without success
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
Nothing changed.
sudo service lightdm restart
Neither there.
I installed gdm instead but then i was not even able to get to the login gui or even tty. So went back to lightdm.
Reenabling the mousedriver did nothing.
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
Nothing changed.
After installing nvidia driver with
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
I was able to move my mouse again, however I was stuck in the well known Ubuntu login loop. The common solution with .Xauthority and other solutions did not work. Had these problems with Ubuntu 10.04. Even my resolution was worse after that.
After removing the nvidia-driver I was able to login again, but no moving cursor.
Is this a graphics problem? I have a Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti
Any solutions?
Thank you.

My first attempt to install the driver caused a login loop. The reason in my case is I didn't disable secure boot after the installation. So, I uninstalled the driver, reinstalled it, rebooted the computer and disabled secure boot.
remember to reboot and there will be a count down page for you to disable secure boot.
