Pavak Paul, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?
** Description changed:
- My graphics card is Nvidia GTX 750 1 GB DDR5. When ran Ubuntu 15.10 from Live
session i found the texts are not showing correctly. Some letters are not
showing at all, some very white or bold. sometimes hovering on them shows the
original text, sometimes blinking. This often restarts xorg. I did manage to
install it in my system once, but then after installation wheneverI try to log
in xorg restarts. I installed nvidia proprietary drivers from tty1 session and
after the reboot the driver was loaded and everything worked properly. I think
it is happening because of the open source driver. I'm submitting the bug from
live session without installing nvidia drivers so that the proper information
of the system is submitted.
- Sorry for any mistakes in my writing, half of the time the texts are
disappearing.
