Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
I replaced the Nvidia video card in my system and the problem seems to have gone with it. I had seen an improvement with the Nvidia card after switching from the digital video output to the on-card VGA output, but over a period of a couple of weeks or so, the video degraded again. The new card is a VisionTek Radeon 5450.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
The problem started at opening. Log-in to Ubuntu and there it is. Return from terminal or application, where the screen is normal, and there it is, or rather, there it was. The "red scan type artifact", which covered the entire screen, has changed. The video problem now presents differently. I had sent in a screen shot of the artifact earlier, but that isn't the video artifact that shows up when I log in on my (now) secondary drive (drive "sdb"). I went into the system chassis yesterday and pulled the Nvidia GeForce7300 video card out completely and connected my monitor to the motherboard VGA connector. The video artifacts that I was seeing when I logged into my primary drive, drive "sda", haven't changed, but the artifacts as displayed when logging into sdb have. I've attached screenshots of the "new" artifacts. I've not looked at the open source to see what might differentiate the video data flow when there's a video card installed versus what happens with the mb video circuit.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Thanks. I'm still working on my (sda) install of 18.04.3; haven't completely restored what I had on (sdb). Fewer issues with either the operating system or applications failing to respond, and very few events where I/O handlers have seemingly disappeared. Still have minor issues with screen presentation; none of the raster-type overlay in the desktop area though. I'm going to try a re-install on the sdb drive after completing system restoration on sda. May be able to rule drive corruption in or out at that point. Also considering replacing the Nvidia GeForce 7300 graphics card with something a bit less on the obsolete side.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Could be. Bug 1860178's write-up seems similar to 1860483. I have been able to use "Settings" in the sda1 install, and switched the background to "black", at which point the raster type corruption in the desktop went away. Now there's occasionally an odd speckled background in the top tool bar, which blanks out to black around the top tool bar icons and text, leaving something that looks like video noise between the leftmost text/dropdown and the day/time text at the middle, and between that middle item and the rightmost icon set. At the same time, there's a little noise speckling on the left tool bar, and a bright narrow vertical line between the tool bar and the desktop region; all that blanks out to black too. The blanking-to-black occurs as the screen cursor is traversed over the tool bars. I am occasionally getting a non-response for item icons associated with sda1 installs, just as I have been with items in sdb1. That kind of looks to me like the system is losing or overwriting the pointer to the app/item associated with the icon. For instance, I still can't get to sdb1's "Settings"; I can click on any one of the "Settings" icons, the activity indicator runs for a short period, stops, and nothing happens. I've waited for a few minutes, up to around 5 or so, just to see if it's a matter of timing, but nothing happens. And frequently, after that happens, other items become non-responsive as well, up to the point where the keyboard and mouse push-button handlers quit responding.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
I tried "Ubuntu on Wayland". Crash. Logged in. Screen loaded improperly and keyboard and mouse froze; handlers blocked and who knows what else. The screen didn't have the red artifact though; it had a cluster of diagonal black and white scan lines covering about the middle third of the screen, an incomplete population of the left hand tool bar icons I use and none of the desktop icons. The top tool bar seemed complete, but was non-functional. Tried "Unity" while I was at it, and that was a complete flop post-log-in. Blank screen, except for an oversized audio slider icon at the top right and the cursor arrow, and the cursor was frozen; once again, no handlers.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
I encountered an issue after advising you that 18.04.3 works. Perhaps it sheds some light on the problem. It occurred to me that perhaps there is a graphics issue and that part of what I was seeing is contamination of the background image I was using. So I tried to open "Settings" in order to revert to the default image. Didn't work; that is, "Settings" doesn't work. No response. I can click on "Settings" on either toolbar or try to access it through "Show Applications" and no response. What's more, after getting no response there, other stuff is locked out and doesn't respond. I have to reboot to get functionality back. In getting to reboot, the shutdown process does report that anything I've tried to open or start, after trying to reach "Settings", isn't responding, and then it hangs. If I click on "Power down" again at that point, it doesn't, it just puts up an image and stalls (the image it displays is the background image I've been using, without the toolbars and the contaminant artifact!). At that point, I've just hit the power switch. I've not tried "Ubuntu on Wayland" or the test kernel package. I'll see what happens there. I can boot into the prior Linux generic via grub; haven't tried to pull up any apps there, but the image issue was still there. On 1/22/20 12:43 AM, Daniel van Vugt wrote: > OK, thanks.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
It starts during the boot process. The display is normal from the Dell boot/startup screen through the grub screen to the Ubuntu logo screen and the password screens; in the instant that the top tool bar and left tool bar come on screen, the scan/diagonal artifact appears. The system was normal yesterday when I shut down and on boot-up this morning, it wasn't. I did run the Ubuntu software updater yesterday, and I didn't cycle power until shutdown last night.
