[Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Just upgraded to 16.04 LTS and that works as well. To be clear, for both 14.04 and 16.04, the proprietary NVIDIA drivers are available via the nvidia-304 package, but I'm not using those. The nouveau driver itself works on 14.04 and 16.04.

[Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
I have been experiencing a similar problem with a GeForce 7300 GT on a Mac Pro 1,1. I also have visual artifacts in 18.04 and 20.04. With 18.04, there are no artifacts or other problems during installation from a DVD, but when booting the installed system there are artifacts after login and eventually programs start hanging. With 20.04, the installation program itself has artifacts when running off the DVD. Just did a clean install of 14.04.6 and that works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860483 Title: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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: [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.

Revoked ... Re: Oop! Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Spoke (wrote) too soon. The artifact is there, in the screen of the new install. After the intitial install and restart, it wasn't there, while the system was running the intitial image from sda1. I then powered down and booted into sdb1, and, of course, the artifact was still present (well, why wouldn't it be? I hadn't changed anything.). I did some stuff there, since that's where my registered e-mail and 'net accounts are. Then I restarted again, booting up in sda1. And the artifact was there. BTW, the linux generics for sda1 are the version of 5.3 that was being loaded with the system installs yesterday. The sdb1 linux image set is still 5.5... The artifact as displayed when sda1 is up seems to be slightly different from that of sdb1, but that may just be perceptual, due to the way the two desktops are populated.

Disregard the 1/25 12:37 AM message. I reinstalled v18.04.3 and there's no problem with the system on that drive (sda1). There's a clear sharp "Bionic Beaver" line drawing. I had managed to complete the install last night on the drive I'd been using, sdb2, and that still has the display problem. A mixup happened at the mid-install restart; the bios was still queued up for boot on sdb2. On 1/25/20 12:37 AM, Paul Collinsworth wrote: > Another result.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Another result. When I tried the v18.04.3 system preview from the USB FD, the background was "normal". I just finished installing the system, and the background now has the transparent red raster overlay. I could get to "Settings" though without locking up the system, so there was at least a marginal improvement there; haven't tried to reproduce any other the other "no response"/lockup failures.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
There seems to be some sort of problem with nouveau, too. Or it may just be a hardware issue.

Re: [Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Perhaps I should just get a new GPU card. Or a new system.
In the meantime, at boot this morning, the first thing I tried to do
after log-in was to access "Settings"; no response. After a few minutes
of 'nothing happening', I clicked the e-mail ("Thunderbird") icon; no
response there, as well. Went to the shutdown/restart panel (the
pull-down at the upper right), clicked "Restart", the system reported
that there was no response from "Thunderbird", switched to an
unpopulated version (no desktop icons or tool bars) of my screen
background image (with none of the corrupting artifact) and stalled.
Pushed the "big red reset" button (power), let it sit for a minute or
two, booted, and after log-in, went straight to e-mail, which behaved
more-or-less normally, accessed the 'net (no particular loss of browser
functionality), and here I am.
Nvidia 304 is a familiar number. I had to re-install that thing several
years ago; seems to me that it was pre-16.04, in fact. Took more than
one iteration of the install process to get it functioning properly;
recollection is that there was some issue with the digital video output.
I did have to switch to the VGA output on the board a couple of years
ago. Something finally got permanently hosed on the digital interface
side, and that may be the root cause now - some sort of problem in the
VGA interface.

don't try to install 304, it doesn't support the xserver in 18.04 which was one of the reasons it got dropped -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860483 Title: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just checked the Nvidia web site and they recommend proprietary driver version 304 for your GPU (which also implies versions after 304 won't support it). It appears the reason why Software & Updates told you "No Additional Drivers Available" is because that's also older than any Nvidia shipped with Ubuntu 18.04. As a next step I would recommend you get the driver that Nvidia themselves recommend and manually install that: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/123709/en-us Annoyingly, Ubuntu 16.04 does offer Nvidia driver version 304 but that Ubuntu release is older and did not ship with a version of Gnome Shell that we support. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860483 Title: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1860483] Re: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red
Although downloading the driver from the above link might cause even greater problems than we have here. Maybe hold that thought, since the only issue right now is corrupt wallpaper that might be the lesser evil. It's still possible this bug could be fixed with a kernel/mesa/mutter update. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860483 Title: [nouveau, GeForce 7300 LE] screen background overlaid with scan type artifact in red To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1860483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
