I installed Ubuntu 14.10. After about 5 minutes of browsing the web, I noticed the garbled graphics. This proved that the situation with the integrated Intel x4500 graphics has worsened. As I was aware of what caused the issue in 14.04, I disabled the swap partition by adding “swapoff -a” to the

This bug is still very much present and has worsened in Ubuntu 14.10. Follow the above workarounds (especially comment #3, as comment #4 seems to be less helpful on 14.10 ). This bug needs to be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is

Yes, I confirm this to be an issue with swapping. Disabling swap resolves the issue of garbled graphics at the memory peak level. If you're running a computer with enough ram, the swap partition can permanently be disabled by adding swapoff -a to /etc/rc.local This is merely just a workaround.
