Public bug reported:
Hello,
since a few weeks I effectively can't run Quantal anymore due to strong
graphical corruption when using the Nouveau driver (I have a Geforce
GT430 card).
To reproduce, I just have to boot a daily live image from a USB stick.
The followings happens (as shown in the camera screenshots I'm gonna
attach):
- The boot logo (shown by Plymouth) is distorted
- Then for some seconds a very weird looking corrupted screen appears
- Then the desktop has loaded, but shows only corruptions instead of the
wallpaper
- The dock on the left screen side is shown correctly, but it's not possible to
start/use any application
- The mouse cursor isn't shown, due to "shades" of tooltips you can sometimes
guess where the cursor might be
This is a regression from Precise and early Quantal, where Nouveau
drivers worked much better.
To report this bug, I had to boot the daily live image with the
"nomodeset" option. Even the new software-rendered Unity desktop you get
in this case is barely usable due to heavy repainting issues, but that
might be another bug.
Kind regards,
Jan
