I did reboot after the xserver packages, the kernel packages, the mesa graphics packages and everything you mentioned in posts 11 and 22.
Then I did a HUGE batch of updates all at once. I thought they were printing (CUPS) packages and Gnome games packages mostly. I figured those would be safe to upgrade and shorten the list. I must have ticked something else not intended and it was the broken package. I hope I can figure this out without having to install all 426+ packages one at a time and rebooting after each. If I must do that, I suppose I should get started soon. I'll wait until I here from you before I proceed with anything else. -- [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-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
