How is the Radeon 5450 - any problems with it? I may have to go the same route. On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 10:20 PM Paul Collinsworth wrote: > > 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 switc

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

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

Could be. Bug 1860178's write-up seems similar to 1860483. I have been able to use "Settings" in the sda1 install, and switched the background to "black", at which point the raster type corruption in the desktop went away. Now there's occasionally an odd speckled background in the top tool bar,

Spoke (wrote) too soon. The artifact is there, in the screen of the new install. After the intitial install and restart, it wasn't there, while the system was running the intitial image from sda1. I then powered down and booted into sdb1, and, of course, the artifact was still present (well, w

Disregard the 1/25 12:37 AM message. I reinstalled v18.04.3 and there's no problem with the system on that drive (sda1). There's a clear sharp "Bionic Beaver" line drawing. I had managed to complete the install last night on the drive I'd been using, sdb2, and that still has the display problem

Another result. When I tried the v18.04.3 system preview from the USB FD, the background was "normal". I just finished installing the system, and the background now has the transparent red raster overlay. I could get to "Settings" though without locking up the system, so there was at least a ma

There seems to be some sort of problem with nouveau, too. Or it may just be a hardware issue. On 1/24/20 2:54 AM, Timo Aaltonen wrote: > don't try to install 304, it doesn't support the xserver in 18.04 which > was one of the reasons it got dropped > -- You received this bug notification becau

Perhaps I should just get a new GPU card. Or a new system. In the meantime, at boot this morning, the first thing I tried to do after log-in was to access "Settings"; no response. After a few minutes of 'nothing happening', I clicked the e-mail ("Thunderbird") icon; no response there, as well.
