[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
I had *exactly* the (very well) described issues here: o Really weird corrupted font artifacts. o Bizarre semi-tiled blocks on my background screen. Occurred after doing an upgrade of Ubuntu 20.04 on an Dell XPS 7590. Running the suggested command: sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-intel And rebooting fixed everything. Thanks very much. -- 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/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I've updated to Ubuntu 20.04 a couple of weeks ago, and there are some minor (but pretty annoying) issues with Gnome Shell every time I load the system.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
This bug is marked as "Won't Fix" because it won't be fixed. xserver- xorg-video-intel is old and should not be used anymore. The default built-in driver (called 'modesetting') should be used instead. I'm not sure how safe it would be to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel from the Ubuntu archive because people upgrading from older releases where it was the only driver, might still have config files that depend on it. Not being able to find the driver specified in your config file would cause bigger issues than just "visual artifacts", like not being able to log in. -- 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/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I've updated to Ubuntu 20.04 a couple of weeks ago, and there are some minor (but pretty annoying) issues with Gnome Shell every time I load the system.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1867668] Re: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver
Removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf did not work on my Intel NUC which is being used as a headless server. As it is a headless machine I control it from my PC using Remmina (VNC). The NUC does not have a monitor connected to it. When the NUC boots it searches for a monitor. If it can't find one it won't activate video. If so, Remmina VNC results in showing a black screen. In order to be able to see the NUC's desktop I need to "trick" it during boot into believing that a monitor is connected. This is done through 20-intel.conf. Its contents forces the NUC to believe that displays are connected: Section "Device" Identifier "intelgpu0" Driver "intel" Option "VirtualHeads" "2" EndSection Therefore, removing xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf resulted in that I could not see the NUC's desktop anymore via Remmina. As an experiment I connected a monitor to the NUC's HDMI port. In this case the artifacts are gone. I plan to try one alternative solution: plug a HDMI dummy adapter into the NUC's HDMI port. Then I might not need the mentioned code in 20-intel.conf any more. Then remove xserver-xorg-video-intel and 20-intel.conf, hoping that I can connect via Remmina. -- 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/1867668 Title: Visual artifacts in Gnome Shell when using the old 'intel' Xorg driver Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: I've updated to Ubuntu 20.04 a couple of weeks ago, and there are some minor (but pretty annoying) issues with Gnome Shell every time I load the system.
