[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting

2016-12-19 Thread Bruzzlee
Updated all packages of the system (I think there was also an update of 
lightdm) yesterday.
Using the update manager which is now gone?!?

Today I've installed 304.134 (not -updates)
--> no freeze until now. Reboot / Cold start. Still works like it should until 
now.

I'll keep it like that an will report if there is a freeze.

Title:
  graphics distorted, lightdm restarting

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast
  and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent
  quality while using official nvidia drivers. Overall a pretty stable
  system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600.

  I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics-
  drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable,
  displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen
  bubble in full screen made lightdm restart.

  After using "dconf write
  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the
  system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing
  picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of
  firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once
  every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot
  more often in Firefox than any other application.

  Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it
  did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot
  longer than earlier.

  I think this error is somewhere between nvidia drivers, compiz and
  firefox.

2016-10-16 Thread Bruzzlee
Today I've updated the packages.
Graphics distortions are back again. Tried to reinstall the nvidia-304 driver. 
No success.

As far as I can remember, the only nvidia related software which was
updated was the nvidia-settings package.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting

2016-10-12 Thread Bruzzlee
Before it worked I tried a lot of different approach. Manually disabling
nouveau before installing the driver, etc.

Here are some steps I did: 
(I cant remember the specific order and don't know which had played a decisive 
role. Maybe I had a different problem)

- installing the chip set driver (amd64-microcode)
- sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
- compiled and tested nvidia driver installer by myself (failed to install)
- added following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbm-nouveau off
- echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf
- sudo update-initramfs -u
- sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- echo 'nouveau' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Hope it helps someone.
Let me know if you need anything like versions, logs, etc.

Title:
  graphics distorted, lightdm restarting

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast
  and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent
  quality while using official nvidia drivers. Overall a pretty stable
  system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600.

  I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics-
  drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable,
  displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen
  bubble in full screen made lightdm restart.

  After using "dconf write
  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the
  system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing
  picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of
  firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once
  every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot
  more often in Firefox than any other application.

  Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it
  did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot
  longer than earlier.

  I think this error is somewhere between nvidia drivers, compiz and
  firefox.
