Christopher, I installed the last developement release of Ubuntu (14.04) and it stalls after graphical login, leaving a blank screen so I only could try to fix stuff from the commandline.
I managed to get the apport report via commandline. I have my fingers crossed that the apport report did came through. After that I did some tinkering and generated an Xorg.conf (Xorg -configure) and it mistakenly reported 4 videocards. After deleting the superfluous entries I could start the Graphical desktop but it is extremely slow (it takes several minutes to open a terminal which immediately locked up for several minutes) so it was quite difficult to test if the bug was still present. At the moment the computer is working very very hard for several minutes now, trying to maximize a window. :-) htop reports 100% CPU usage. I guess that the whopping amount of 64MB VideoRAM is not really adequate for 14.04 I did manage to move a terminalwindow, however, just before it locked up. :-) The reported bug seems indeed to be SOLVED in 14.04, thanks :-) The downside is, of course, that 14.04 is not usable in it's present state on this rig. I could do some further testing. I persume it would be more adequate to use Lubuntu then ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996168 Title: 10de:032c nouveau doesn't render items on lower third of desktop Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: On the desktop, items that are moved down to below 1/3 of the screen disappear behind an "invisible horizon". It seems like although the desktop and backdrop are rendered nicely full screen, the items on it seem to be rendered to a smaller field and get clipped when passing the "border". Resizing the desktop to another size and back again seem to solve this issue. WORKAROUND: NV34 (64MB) with laptop screen 1024x768, @60. Resizing and then resizing back again seems to be the only "fix" without disabling render acceleration. WORKAROUND: Put the code below in a file, make it executable and put it in "startup applications" in your desktop: #!/bin/bash xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 800x600 --panning 800x600 xrandr --output LVDS-1 --mode 1024x768 --panning 1024x768 --- ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5300 / Go5350] [10de:032c] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Wistron Corp.
