tom brans, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product- support/product/optiplex-390/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A11). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a11 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1333757 Title: fallback of app-icons on desktoppage Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After using Ubuntu 14.04 2 months ago I have since today lost the appearance of the program-icons on my desktop-page. As last option I reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit-version) and find on my screen all text-items displayed at an extreme big size displayed, making impossible to read a doc-page or a spreadsheetpage. Sice over ten years I am using Ubuntu and have never before encountered this difficulty ! I can't find a way to adjustthis extreme big letters on my screen and find it very hard to continue using my administrative applications.
