Public bug reported:
Initially i'm sorry for my english but i try to write the best
description I can ;)
I have a fresh installation ( fully updated) of Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit on a
DELL XPS M1330 machine with Core 2 Duo t7500, 4 GB ddr2 RAM and an
Geforce 8400GS graphics card.
I use gnome shell 3.6 as my main desktop environment and a nouveau open-
sorce graphics driver because if i use a NVIDIA closed source driver the
graphics performance on GNOME 3 are terrible!
I have not identified an a particular action that trigger the problem,
sometimes during the normal using or sometimes when i log on the DE many
graphics elements of GNOME SHELL are corrupted and the system going to unusable.
For corrupted elements I intend that the elements same as the gnome's top bar,
icons, apps's menu bars or full desktop are not drawed correctly. THIS PROBLEM
FORCE THE SYSTEM TO GOING UNUSABLE.
I tried to restart the gnome shell with the embedded command ( ALT + F2
-> r ) but rarely the problem solves. Also i tryed to restart the gdm
subsystem and/or the X subsystem but i have obtained the same results as
the previous method. anyway the problem is only resolved temporally and
it appear again more times during the working session to finally happen
that the system must be restarted.
If i use a gnome classic DE without effects (3D) the system not present
any types of the precedent problems but i can't use gnome shell DE!
