Well, Brian, its true regarding older hardware, lets not be blind about all the post x1*** - 6*** cards, they are actually okay. Also, "3D is important" is a bit exaggerated, because 3D pipeline and *everything* except this bug work really fine. There are many factors in play on modern desktop for it to "just work", but this only one bug really damages it. On the other hand, its so damn shame that no one wants to give a look, even if offered full remote access to affected machine, in do what you want, ask what you wish, mode. :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049630 Title: gnome-shell weird lines Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In gnome-shell font are corrupted and are present weird lines.
