$ lspci -nn | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) $ lsb_release -r Release: 16.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573959 Title: On-screen text disappears after suspend Status in linux-lts-xenial package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After resuming from a suspend, almost all text on screen is not visible. This includes menu items, text in all three boxes (list of folders, list of e-mails, e-mail body) in Thunderbird (with the curious exception of "ffl" in the File menu), top menu in Chromium (but not the menu obtained by pressing the hamburger button), and the menus produced by clicking items in the system tray. Also, the apport dialog had no text except for a few capital letters. WORKAROUND / 'FIX' (added on March 9, 2017) Several people have mentioned upgrading to kernel 4.8 or higher solves the issue. As per #81, you can easily install kernel 4.8 (if you're on Ubuntu 16.04, that is) by running sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04 If you are still experiencing this issue after upgrading to kernel 4.8, please share your system details in the comments. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: * initctl restart unity-panel-service restarts the panel, but the text is still missing * suspend and resume does not fix the issue * Logging out fixes the issue * Other affected applications: ** Chromium file select dialog ** Terminal (entire window) ** ttys 1-6 (Ctrl+Alt+F1, etc.) ** Document viewer (menus) ** Software Updater ** Rhythmbox ** The dialog that appears when you take a screenshot with Ctrl+Alt+PrtSc ** ubuntu-bug ** Nautilus ** LibreOffice Calc (spreadsheet text contents) ** Firefox * Unity dash is not affected. * Skype is not affected. * Mousing over a button in a dialog correctly shows the text.
