Public bug reported: Symptoms: On login, the desktop takes a long time to load, and when it does, everything blinks. It is possible (but difficult) to open a terminal and execute commands, through the right-click desktop menu.
I first noticed the issue in mid-July of 2018. System: Acer 5100 Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) Graphics card: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200] Believed to be mesa-related, as symptoms very similar to bug #1741447 and #1735594. I have been informed by a mesa developer that my issue is different because that bug affects Intel GPUs. This system has a Radeon GPU. Log files are as attached to bug #1795709. That bug was declared invalid by Apport because it says I don't have the necessary debug packages installed. However, I could not find the debug packages in the repository, so that is why I am submitting this report manually. Many thanks for any help. ** Affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798868 Title: Compiz Crashed with SIGSEGV [Radeon] Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Symptoms: On login, the desktop takes a long time to load, and when it does, everything blinks.
