Brett Bogert, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=427905#N5524 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F.55). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f.55 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439860 Title: Gnome Flashback Metacity: Artifacts on all metacity windows Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am getting a light colored artifact around all metacity windows. Theme being used is Vertex or Vertex-Dark for Gtk3.14. Workaround is to restart metacity using "metacity --replace &" from terminal which only works until terminal is closed. This problem has been intermittent all of Vivid 15.04 but has become all the time since Beta2 updates. I will attach a screenshot of the problem to the bug report.
