Same issue here....bitten by both bugs on a Toshiba Satellite E45-B4100.. 3.16.0.34 - garbled text, inability to even upgrade to proprietary Intel drivers for the HD5500...3d rendering of applications like google maps or steam browser are broken and distorted.
Upgrading to kernel 3.16.0.36 results in boot lockup. Installing 15.04 (3.19.0-15-generic) and the video is normal...no more missing text or weird artifacting of folders on the desktop. Too bad this isn't fixed in LTS as either bug renders the laptop fairly unusable or unstable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432194 Title: Graphics unstable on Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 using Intel HD Graphics 5500 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1432194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
