Public bug reported:
The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast and
definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent quality
while using official nvidia drivers. Overall a pretty stable system
based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600.
I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics-
drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable,
displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen bubble
in full screen made lightdm restart.
After using "dconf write
/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the
system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing
picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of
firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once
every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot
more often in Firefox than any other application.
Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it
did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot
longer than earlier.
I think this error is somewhere between nvidia drivers, compiz and
firefox.
