I run standard Ubuntu and am not familiar with MATE. A couple years ago I may have tried it briefly in another Linux distro. I forget. Months ago I tried Lubuntu which as I remember didn't have the "hashing" problem. I think it uses LXDE. There's Kubuntu, Gnome, ... however many variations of Ubuntu. I've tried NEXT a couple of times but it didn't do much so I don't know if it has the problem. Now there's "Snappy" I' ve no clue what desktop it has or just command line?.
I use "out of the box" Ubuntu U+1 looking for bugs that would be applicable to the most (?) users. "Unity" has had lots of bugs....including this one.. How is MATE installed? Can I switch between Mate and Unity desktops or do I do an install? How is MATE removed after testing it? example re-installing standard Ubuntu or just starting Unity? Thanks. BTW, my impression this bug is closely tied to xserver or to how Ubuntu Unity is using xserver. I have other pc's with different hardware and different video chips that don't exhibit this problem. This Lenovo M58p has an Intel 64 bit dual processor 3 GHz and is the fastest of my pc's. All is not great with 15.10 on the other pc's example an Intel 32 bit 3 GHz Compaq which has annoyingly slow video with 15.05 and 15.10 but 14.04 video is quite usable. I've forgotten which video benchmarks might be more believable to the Ubuntu Devs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1406802 Title: Vivid Unity Wallpaper horizontally hashed Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Incomplete Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Standard wallpaper selection distorted badly cut and displaced sideways.
