'Can you please also try the following: Install the newest, broken package again. Then run these command: cd /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow sudo mv gnome-settings-daemon.desktop gnome-settings-daemon.desktop.disabled Now restart your computer. This time you should see the login screen, but it will break again as soon as you log in to a normal Gnome session. Is this correct?' -- [RV350] Desktop corruption – Screen only shows vertical bands https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643118 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
