Public bug reported:
By default this system uses the Nouveau drivers, with which Unity and
the desktop work correctly, but the system becomes unresponsive when
trying to resume from suspend
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/754711). The usual
workaround is to use the proprietary drivers. However, when I tried
using them on this system running Ubuntu 12.10 (first time I test this
release), they didn't work.
Only the desktop background is shown; the desktop folders, Unity dash
and top menu bar/panel are not present. I was able to launch a terminal
by ctrl-alt-t, but this window (and any others) I launch appear without
title bars or controls. I can't even alt-tab through them. So I guess
compiz isn't running either.
What I did:
- Install 12.10
- from a terminal, sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
it installed a broadcom driver and nvidia-current. Then I rebooted and
got the described behavior.
I also tested nvidia-current-updates and nvidia-experimental-304 with
the same results.
