Title:
[i965] idle black screen plus other issues Ubuntu 11.04
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Hello,
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. When I step away from the computer for a few
minutes and then come back to it, usually I see the login screen that
comes up each time you step away from the computer to get back to what
I was doing on my computer, however occasionally when I come back and
move the mouse the login screen is not visible and all I see is a
complete black screen. The only thing I see is the white cursor, and
only when I move the cursor over to the bar where I would enter my
password would be, I get the insertion icon for entering text. But I
still don't see the actual grey screen with the white bar to enter my
password.
I tried entering my password upon getting the insertion cursor when
getting to the place where the white area would be to enter my
password. I enter it, but all I still see is black. Obviously this is
a bug, as I'm using a developmental version, 11.04, of Ubuntu, however
I thought I should let the problem be known in the hopes and prayers
that someone from the Ubuntu development team would see this post and
fix the problem.
And there is one other thing that I've noticed...the menu bar is all
black at all times when I am logged into Ubuntu, except for the icons
on the upper right hand side of the Ubuntu screen, such as the mail
icon, wifi icon, etc. Those are slightly grey. The time however in
that location is black however and basically unreadable. The only time
I see the various drop downs from the menubar is when I hover over the
menubar and click on where would be the various File, Edit so forth
items on the menubar.
Actually, as I'm writing this, for the first time I see the menubar
items, File, Edit, etc., in black on a grey area in the menubar area,
but they only appear when I hover over that area with the cursor,
where they actually reside. I like the feature that the menubar
itself, File, Edit, etc., only appears when you hover over it, but
black text (menubar titles) on a very grey area isn't very readable.
Lastly, occasionally when I rightclick with my mouse button to get a
dropdown area in various areas of the screen, where it would be
activated, such as to paste or cut text, it will appear for a second
but then disappear almost immediately. Not long enough to actually
click on what you want such as "Paste". I pray that the Ubuntu Team
does in fact see this topic and implements the bug fixes soon, and in
a way that once the OS is updated to represent these fixes, I can just
update the Ubuntu Operating System through the Update Manager in the
OS from within the OS I already have installed, and not have to
reinstall Ubuntu all over again when the fixes come out. Thank you all
so very much, in advance, for reading and appropriately responding to
my lengthy post.
May God Bless each and every one of you in The Mighty Name of The Lord Jesus
Christ! He saved me and He can save you too if you are willing.
Blessings,
Jason
