** Description changed: == Update: == - Nvidia states that the bug will be fixed in the next release: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/990898/linux/suspend-corrupts-window-manager-after-upgrade-to-378-09/2 + Nvidia states that the bug will be fixed in the next release: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/990898/linux/suspend-corrupts-window-manager-after-upgrade-to-378-09/2. However no timeline for the next release was mentioned. + + Meanwhile workarounds have to be used to alleviate/overcome the bad + window borders and title bar caused by driver version 375.39. == Possible workarounds for the time being == - - Alternative A: Install nvidia-340 package if that versions supports your card: sudo apt install nvidia-340 - - Alternative B: Keep nvidia-375 and use the shell script described in comment #13: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-375/+bug/1667158/comments/13 - Beware, this might kill applications like Firefox or Thunderbird on resume! - - Alternative C: Downgrade to the nvidia-367 package. Beware, that this driver version has unfixed security holes! Downgrading works in Yakkety, possibly also in Xenial, but likely not in Zesty.
