themusicgod1, as per https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-45279 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.51). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
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, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.51 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1537124 Title: dual monitor setup half second screen does not display some programs Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Same bug was present in Ubuntu 12.04 + unity (+/- compiz) for same machine, upgrade to 14.04 and switch to openbox did not help. See screenshot: gnome-terminal is cut in half. Any attempt to move it further right and it does not display anything further right than that line. Openbox dock is cut off in the same spot(though sometimes also disappears entirely). Some other applications(eg xterm) do display to the right of that line. 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV18GL [Quadro NVS 280 SD] (rev a2) makerspace@accounting1:~$ lsmod | grep nouv nouveau 969650 3 mxm_wmi 12893 1 nouveau wmi 18673 2 mxm_wmi,nouveau video 18903 1 nouveau i2c_algo_bit 13197 1 nouveau ttm 85079 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 48868 1 nouveau drm 244037 5 ttm,drm_kms_helper,nouveau Linux accounting1 3.13.0-76-generic #120-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 18 15:58:41 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux makerspace@accounting1:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Installed: 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status makerspace@accounting1:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg xserver-xorg: Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 Candidate: 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 Version table: *** 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages openbox: Installed: 3.5.2-6 Candidate: 3.5.2-6 DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS" Programs that *do* display across both monitors with no problem: * Gimp * PaleMoon * xterm * eog Programs that consistently do *not* * Openbox dock * gnome-terminal ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-76.120-generic 3.13.11-ckt30 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-76-generic i686 .tmp.unity.support.test.1: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,staticswitcher,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,dbus] CompositorRunning: None Date: Fri Jan 22 09:52:38 2016 DistUpgraded: 2016-01-19 16:27:00,780 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation NV18GL [Quadro NVS 280 SD] [10de:018a] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:0168] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-16 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20130213) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 004: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc.
