I replaced the Nvidia video card in my system and the problem seems to have gone with it. I had seen an improvement with the Nvidia card after switching from the digital video output to the on-card VGA output, but over a period of a couple of weeks or so, the video degraded again. The new card

The problem started at opening. Log-in to Ubuntu and there it is. Return from terminal or application, where the screen is normal, and there it is, or rather, there it was. The "red scan type artifact", which covered the entire screen, has changed. The video problem now presents differently. I

Thanks. I'm still working on my (sda) install of 18.04.3; haven't completely restored what I had on (sdb). Fewer issues with either the operating system or applications failing to respond, and very few events where I/O handlers have seemingly disappeared. Still have minor issues with screen pre

I encountered an issue after advising you that 18.04.3 works. Perhaps it sheds some light on the problem. It occurred to me that perhaps there is a graphics issue and that part of what I was seeing is contamination of the background image I was using. So I tried to open "Settings" in order to r
