Small extra piece of info. I haven't been able to reproduce the bug in a freshly installed Ubuntu machine running Unity, although I can reproduce it inside cinnamon. However, I'm currently seeing the bug under Unity (not a freshly installed machine). So I'm thinking that there's some setting that differs from the default installation that causes this. I'm trying to track this setting down.

I am running tmux as "tmux -2" to enable 256 colour mode and my .tmux.conf contains: set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color" ... to enable 256 colours for apps running inside tmux. When corruption occurs, neither clearing the screen with "clear" or "tput clear" helps. What does seem to help is switching to another tmux window and back to the problematic one. This configuration used to work fine in natty. --- .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 280.13 Wed Jul 27 16:55:43 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-09-25 10:58:52.659181 DistroCodename: oneiric DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] [10de:0a6c] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T410 [17aa:2142] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) JockeyStatus: xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) xorg:nvidia_current_updates - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) MachineType: LENOVO 2516CTO NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 PackageArchitecture: i386 PlymouthDebug: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/plymouth-debug.log' ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic-pae root=UUID=7ad192e9-7b26-49d1-8e1c-fefc7dc495cb ro acpi_sleep=nonvs quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic-pae 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity ubuntu compiz-0.9 oneiric running-unity oneiric running-unity oneiric running-unity ubuntu compiz-0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic-pae i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-09-25 (43 days ago) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout libvirtd lpadmin plugdev sambashare sbuild dmi.bios.date: 08/27/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 6IET72WW (1.32 ) dmi.board.name: 2516CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6IET72WW(1.32):bd08/27/2010:svnLENOVO:pn2516CTO:pvrThinkPadT410:rvnLENOVO:rn2516CTO:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2516CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T410 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu5 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.26-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.11-0ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.11-0ubuntu3 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu13 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.99~git20110811.g93fc084-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.15.901-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
