I installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with the Beta 1 ISO, ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and then at some point in the 'setting up' part of the upgrade the screen suddenly just became: Strange_Ubuntu_GNOME_16.04_Beta1_Error.png And upon moving my mouse nothing happened for a while until suddenly a weird view of my mouse appeared, and then when I moved it a little again it was gone (and then when moving my mouse about 10% of the time I would get it come into view and look similar to how it does in the screenshot): Strange_Ubuntu_GNOME_16.04_Beta1_Error_With_Mouse.png I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful than that, I really have no idea why it came, and as I wasn't looking at my machine the whole time I don't know what came just before it was triggered... But this is a VM (32-bit, though the host machine is 64-bit). --- ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: GNOME DisplayManager: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.shell favorite-apps ['ubiquity.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'evolution.desktop', 'empathy.desktop', 'rhythmbox.desktop', 'org.gnome.Photos.desktop', 'libreoffice-writer.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'yelp.desktop'] org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-im-module 'gtk-im-context-simple' InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-03-04 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha i386 (20160225.1) Package: gnome-shell 3.18.3-3ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-9.24-generic 4.4.3 Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-9-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1553230/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
