Tried the upstream kernel v4.0-rc2-vivid. It seems to have no issues with the screen static after returning from a hibernation. Intrestingly even after removing the v4.0c build, the problem seems to be fixed when I boot into 3.16.0-31-generic x86_64 What was really happened there? I was under the impression that these kernels were isolated on their own..
[ btw, the wifi isn't working in kernel v4.0-rc2, that's why I removed it] ** Tags added: kernel-fixed-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428787 Title: Static on the screen after returning from hibernation Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After returning from the hibernation ( was hibernated using the command sudo pm-hibernate), the screen comes out very ugly. Most of the text on the screen is unreadable due to missing pixels. Even for the newly typed text ( especially the caharacer 'h'), lot of pixels missing everywhere. This problem is found everywhere, from newly opened windows to, menus, appswitcher, logout dialogue, everything! And only way to get back to normal, so far, is to restart ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic 3.16.0-31.41 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-31.41-generic 3.16.7-ckt5 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sanjul 14259 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Mar 5 23:48:13 2015 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=1259154b-7454-4cb5-aa66-4fb89abe9694 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-02-08 (25 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
