Is it gone everywhere or just on the background whithout any windows on the workspace? That is, if you open an application, is the cursor visible again?

Both of the solutions below work, but several other things stopped working after my upgrade and the only way to make everything work again is to use `unity-settings-daemon` instead of `gnome-settings-daemon`

I had the same problem. Solved it by starting unity-settings-daemon instead of gnome-settings-daemon at startup.

Here is the line I put to ~/.i3/config:

exec --no-startup-id unity-settings-daemon

I had the same problem - no mouse cursor visible in i3 on Ubuntu after an upgrade. Adding this to my config file and restarting fixed the problem. Thanks.
