[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1834554] Re: Screen displays dynamic corruptions

Screen shots of the corruption do not work as the screen shot tool appears to overwrite the corruption. Video capture does work. ** Attachment added: "Video capture of screen corruption" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1834554/+attachment/5273854/+files/screen-speckles.ogv

2019-05-22 Thread Dan Kortschak
Public bug reported: I am trying to use the nouveau drivers on a recent (today) install of 18.04 on a 2.5yo laptop. Unfortunately the nvidia drivers don't work at all. What I am finding is that the sluggishness of the display is comparable to the case when nouveau drivers are disabled. The only r

Public bug reported: Installing the nvidia-driver-390 package and disabling (or not) the nouveau drivers results in a system that superficially appears to busy hang before reaching the login screen, leaving only the fsck "/dev/sda1: clean,..." message on the screen. The machine is alive, and logg

OK, `gdb64 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg 2>&1 | tee gdb-Xorg.txt' works. The instructions for backtracing at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing#Backtrace_with_gdb obviously need some love. With all the complaints from gdb out of the way it seems that the issue shows up as the corrupted shared library list

I have sorted out the syscall-template.S issue by getting the libc6 source. I have found places saying that the cause of gdb not liking the binary is because of arch incompatibility (32 v 64). I tried this with no change. ~# gdb /usr/bin/Xorg 2>&1 | tee gdb-Xorg.txt GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.11.1-0ubuntu
