[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 902670] Re: blank (white) desktop, no icons, no windows
David Mitchell, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 902670] Re: blank (white) desktop, no icons, no windows
Dear maintainer, I experience the same with 12.04 LTS PPC64 Nvidida FX5200. unity 2d or booting with nouveau.noaccel=1 (defaults to 2D) bypasses the bug. The same hardware using LXDE also experiences this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- nouveau/+bug/952101 Again, booting with noveau.noaccel=1 bypasses/avoids the bug there. Since noaccel defaults to 2D, I am not sure how to go about isolating if these are symptoms of one issue or separate. Just for clarity: The attached is what I see when booting desktop iso WITHOUT nouveau.noaccel=1.

Also, something that one could attempt is running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and rebooting.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 902670] Re: blank (white) desktop, no icons, no windows
I have experienced the 'white screeen of death' in 11.04 and 11.10. I have blacklisted the 'nouveau' driver for nVidia, but still get white screens. I get white screens with and without the noveau driver; with and without compiz. To reproduce; Open and close many windows (about 15 to 20), then open more than 3 windows at the same time. Successive windows opened are blank. It is sometimes possible to see content in them by resizing the windows to a smaller size. The more windows opened, the smaller the size has to be to get data to appear. The white window appears often (but not always) after a period of inactivity, usually when I leave an application open and go do something else for a half hour or more. If I type my password and hit [enter], the desktop returns , pretty reliably. Rebooting the computer seems to reset the bug, then it pops up after 20 screens or so.
