Title:
Nvidia-driver on 64bit Ubuntu 12.10 fails to show Unity-desktop.
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
hello,
I have made two (2) separate installations of 64bit Ubuntu 12.10 on this
laptop. The installation completes correctly and the Nouveau-driver works
pretty well and shows correct Unity-desktop. But if I activate the
NVIDIA-driver, the desktop displays only a low-resolution wallpaper, without
Unity-desktop or icons. The desktop is missing. I have tried both the stable
NVIDIA and the experimental driver. Both fails. I have activated the driver
via [Additional Drivers] page on software-properties-gtk dialog. Also did the
same from command line. See the attachment (log file).
This laptop is: Toshiba Satellite L755.

Also the Unity-desktop and eg. LibreOffice text has artifacts (white
