I noticed this effect today on qa-test of lubuntu 20.04 daily on hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)
This is a different box, however on the dc7700 the choppy behavior occurs much of the time (still occurs as I tested on dc7700 earlier today), today on this 8200 box the choppy behavior is far less, and only occasional. Blank & Cycle are still 10 mins, yet choppy behavior is occurring 3-15 secs (little point counting time on dc7700) so it's less evident, but once you notice it - it sort of stands out here too. -- 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/1855220 Title: xscreensaver is choppy on lubuntu 20.04 daily qa-test (flurry) Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Lubuntu 20.04 daily QA-test on hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290) Displays have been adjusted to my setup (one above the other) but I doubt this is an issue I suspended system, waited, pressed ESC to wake & it resumed to xscreensaver, but 'flurry' was chopped and showing white/black patches on display as if glitching... I touched mouse & my session removed. opened xscreensaver & preview - yep glitch there too... changed to 'fliptext' & no issues, but flurry is very jerky with image switching to almost-blocky-bad-signal (I think it's alternating between showing something else, text; it seems to vary on what I've had on screen before screensaver is loaded & continuing to show xscreensaver..) attempts to screengrab with delay have failed (just capturing black screen).. `lshw -C video` reports I'm using nouveau. This issue may not relate to 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau', but I suspect it's there. I've performed this test a number of times on various boxes without issue (will do so again once I shutdown this).
