  Suspend to ram causes some glyphs to draw consistently wrong or even

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  # Summary
  * Some glyphs badly drawn at some moments.
  * When happens, same glyph drawn on various windows shows same corruption.
  * Problem comes and go.

  # Context
  Laptop, using "intel" (or "nouveau" ?) driver.
  Expected: all glyphs rendered correctly.
  Observed: some glyphs not rendered correctly

  * reproducible: sometimes, eventually.  Problem comes and go, severity
  varies from one glyph (see
  2016y02m17d_18h08m27s_0100Z_x_bug_glyph_firefox_gnome_org.png ) to all
  text on screen fully unreadable  (see
  2016y02m10d_18h42m18s_0100Z_wow_screen_flickers_and_most_glyphs_wrong_01.png
  )

  * *some* glyphs are affected. For example, letter 'a' of a certain
  size will be replaced by colored garbage at many places where it
  appears (see
  2016y02m18d_16h05m35s_0100Z_same_corruption_on_different_windows.png
  ), but other 'a' with different size, italic, bold, etc will be
  unaffected.

  * in some applications (e.g. xfce whisker menu), some glyphs are
  rendered correctly or not depending on the direction of mouse
  hovering.  See video
  2016y02m16d_21h41m14s_0100Z_whisker_menu_missing_glyphs.mp4 .

  * in menu of gtk application, some glyphs are "fixed" by opening the
  menu, but not all.  For example, in xfce4-terminal, letter A of
  "Affichage" and its menu content as well as "Aide" is affected.
  Opening "Affichage" menu does not fix anything.  Opening "Aide" menu
  fixes the "A" of "Aide".  Changing window size reactivates the bug on
  "A" or "Aide".  See video 2016y02m18d_16h14m25s_0100Z_glyph-redrawn-
  bug.mp4 .

  * text under icons on desktop is affected, but shadows are not. See
  
2016y02m16d_21h32m11s_0100Z_x_bug_reenabling_antialias_reactivates_problem_shadow_unaffected.png

  # Affected applications
  * xfce whisker menu,
  * xfce4-terminal (nealy all screenshots)
  * firefox (see 2016y02m17d_18h08m27s_0100Z_x_bug_glyph_firefox_gnome_org.png 
2016y02m16d_21h32m11s_0100Z_x_bug_reenabling_antialias_reactivates_problem_shadow_unaffected.png
 ),
  * thunderbird (see

and subsequent ),
  * superswitcher ( a gtk/gdk app)
  * *NOT* affected: xterm, xmessage. Perhaps only gtk/gdk/pango/cairo apps are 
affected.

  # Additional information
  This looks like a cache corruption somewhere.
  On IRC #pango, someone suggested a bug in Intel driver.
  Running `xfce4-appearance-settings` and there changing any of:
  * antialiasing enable/disable,
  * hinting strength,
  * subpixel alignment
  * or dpi
  immediately cures the bug (see 
2016y02m16d_21h31m52s_0100Z_x_bug_disabling_antialias_immediately_cures_problem.png
 )

  Setting back the exact same parameters immediately reactivates the bug
  (see

  It is believed that keeping any new settings for a while will have the

  here: *some* glyphs (randomly chosen) are drawn corrupted (replaced by

  Using the nvidia proprietary driver 361.42 isn't a WORKAROUND as it causes

2018-05-20 Thread gouri
To add to my latest comment where I report that problem reappeared a few
times in recent days: same hardware, same usage pattern, on the very re-
installation of 16.04 that had the problem disappear (cf. #comment:77).
Software updates applied regularly since the last near-2-years. Nothing
salient would explain that, besides maybe a regression that came with a
software update?

Interestingly, thus bug started to reappear in its extreme form: a few
times in the past days, all letters disappeared in my xfce4-terminals.
Workaround was to close and reopen session.

  # Summary
  * Some glyphs badly drawn at some moments.
  * When happens, same glyph drawn on various windows shows same corruption.
  * Problem comes and go.

  Cannot use nvidia proprietary driver as a workaround (does not work at
  all).

  # Context
  Laptop, using "intel" (or "nouveau" ?) driver.
  Expected: all glyphs rendered correctly.
  Observed: some glyphs not rendered correctly

  * reproducible: sometimes, eventually.  Problem comes and go, severity
  varies from one glyph (see
  2016y02m17d_18h08m27s_0100Z_x_bug_glyph_firefox_gnome_org.png ) to all
  text on screen fully unreadable  (see
  2016y02m10d_18h42m18s_0100Z_wow_screen_flickers_and_most_glyphs_wrong_01.png
  )

  * *some* glyphs are affected. For example, letter 'a' of a certain
  size will be replaced by colored garbage at many places where it
  appears (see
  2016y02m18d_16h05m35s_0100Z_same_corruption_on_different_windows.png
  ), but other 'a' with different size, italic, bold, etc will be
  unaffected.

  * in some applications (e.g. xfce whisker menu), some glyphs are
  rendered correctly or not depending on the direction of mouse
  hovering.  See video
  2016y02m16d_21h41m14s_0100Z_whisker_menu_missing_glyphs.mp4 .

  * in menu of gtk application, some glyphs are "fixed" by opening the
  menu, but not all.  For example, in xfce4-terminal, letter A of
  "Affichage" and its menu content as well as "Aide" is affected.
  Opening "Affichage" menu does not fix anything.  Opening "Aide" menu
  fixes the "A" of "Aide".  Changing window size reactivates the bug on
  "A" or "Aide".  See video 2016y02m18d_16h14m25s_0100Z_glyph-redrawn-
  bug.mp4 .

  * text under icons on desktop is affected, but shadows are not. See
  
2016y02m16d_21h32m11s_0100Z_x_bug_reenabling_antialias_reactivates_problem_shadow_unaffected.png

  * *NOT* affected: xterm, xmessage. Perhaps only gtk/gdk/pango/cairo apps are 
affected.

  # Additional information
  This looks like a cache corruption somewhere.

  Running `xfce4-appearance-settings` and there changing any of:
  * antialiasing enable/disable,

  immediately cures the bug (see

  It is believed that keeping any new settings for a while will have the
  bug reoccur.

  It is not like bug 1536751. That one affects rendering quality of
  *all* glyphs, at all times, depending on dpi. This is not the case
  here: *some* glyphs (randomly chosen) are drawn corrupted (replaced by

Regarding new bug, subscribed to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/1568604 . Will notify if I still observed this bug (1547077).

I don't understand why this bug no longer happens (which is good
anyway).

xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is still 1:1.0.12-1build2

Perhaps bug is actually in another package and was fixed?

@gr-ubuntu-0 are you still affected?

Summary: on reinstall on same CPU/motherboard/etc (only storage
changed), bug no longer observed.

Hello,

After observing problems on the main storage of the laptop where the bug
was observed, I bought a new storage and installed Ubuntu 16.04 from
scratch on the new storage but the same laptop.

Surprisingly, this bug **no longer happens**, but another one happens
instead, which is much less of a problem.  The new bug symptom is: after
lock/unlock, the mouse pointer no longer appears.  Mouse features
actually work, as one can see hover effects on buttons and menu items,
semi-blindly click, etc.  An efficient workaround is to press Ctrl-
Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7, and voilà mouse pointer is back again.

LC_ALL=C lshw -c video 2>/dev/null | grep configuration

   configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
   configuration: driver=i915 latency=0

2016-06-26 Thread gouri
Thanks again @gr-ubuntu-0 . This is interesting. Indeed your XorgLog.txt
does not mention nouveau, only Intel.

My xorg.log mentions both.

Following https://askubuntu.com/questions/23238/how-can-i-find-what-
video-driver-is-in-use-on-my-system it looks like I'm really using
nouveau driver.

LC_ALL=C lshw -c video 2>/dev/null | grep configuration

   configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
   configuration: driver=i915 latency=0


@penalvch does this tell something about where the bug is?

May it not be in nouveau, after all?

  Opening "Affichage" menu does not fix anything.  Opening "Aide" menu
  fixes the "A" of "Aide".  Changing window size reactivates the bug on

  Running `xfce4-appearance-settings` and there changing any of:

  immediately cures the bug (see

  It is believed that keeping any new settings for a while will have the
  bug reoccur.

  It is not like bug 1536751. That one affects rendering quality of
  *all* glyphs, at all times, depending on dpi. This is not the case
  here: *some* glyphs (randomly chosen) are drawn corrupted (replaced by

@gr-ubuntu-0 thanks for reporting, it looks like it's the same issue
indeed.

@gr-ubuntu-0 can you mark the bug as affecting you? It is important for
confirmation and prioritization.

@penalvch I have not completed the steps to reporting the bug upstream.

I agree it would be the next best step but I cannot do it at the moment
(drowned under other tasks).

If anyone can do it, it would certainly help.
Instructions are on comments 49 and steps done so far are on comment 50.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1547077] Re: Suspend to ram causes some glyphs to draw consistently wrong or even appear blank in gtk/gdk/pango/cairo apps. xterm/xmessage unaffected.

2016-06-25 Thread GR
Hello,

I have the same issue with intel driver. Once every few resumes, all gtk fonts 
are garbbled. (strangely this doesn't happen to firefox for me).
Changing anti-aliasing settings in xfce4-appearance-settings fixes it, but 
reverting back to the previous setting immediately restores the broken font 
rendering.

See attached screeshots of the xfce panel menus with the issue, and
after changing antialiasing setting. I'll followup with apport reports.

  "A" or "Aide".  See video 2016y02m18d_16h14m25s_0100Z_glyph-redrawn-
  bug.mp4 .

  * text under icons on desktop is affected, but shadows are not. See

  # Affected applications
  * xfce whisker menu,
  * xfce4-terminal (nealy all screenshots)
  * firefox (see 2016y02m17d_18h08m27s_0100Z_x_bug_glyph_firefox_gnome_org.png 
2016y02m16d_21h32m11s_0100Z_x_bug_reenabling_antialias_reactivates_problem_shadow_unaffected.png
 ),
  * thunderbird (see 
2016y02m16d_21h28m35s_0100Z_x_bug_affects_thunderbird_terminal.png ),
  * emacs (see 
2016y02m10d_18h41m49s_0100Z_wow_screen_flickers_and_most_glyphs_wrong_00.png 
and subsequent ),
  * superswitcher ( a gtk/gdk app)
  * *NOT* affected: xterm, xmessage. Perhaps only gtk/gdk/pango/cairo apps are 
affected.

  # Additional information
  This looks like a cache corruption somewhere.
  On IRC #pango, someone suggested a bug in Intel driver.
  Running `xfce4-appearance-settings` and there changing any of:
  * antialiasing enable/disable,
  * hinting strength,
  * subpixel alignment
  * or dpi
  immediately cures the bug (see 
2016y02m16d_21h31m52s_0100Z_x_bug_disabling_antialias_immediately_cures_problem.png
 )

  Setting back the exact same parameters immediately reactivates the bug
  (see
  
2016y02m16d_21h32m11s_0100Z_x_bug_reenabling_antialias_reactivates_problem_shadow_unaffected.png).

  It is believed that keeping any new settings for a while will have the
  bug reoccur.

  It is not like bug 1536751. That one affects rendering quality of
  *all* glyphs, at all times, depending on dpi. This is not the case
  here: *some* glyphs (randomly chosen) are drawn corrupted (replaced by
  garbage or absent), not always.

Title:
  Suspend to ram causes some glyphs to draw consistently wrong or even
  appear blank in gtk/gdk/pango/cairo apps. xterm/xmessage unaffected.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  # Summary
  * Some glyphs badly drawn at some moments.
  * When happens, same glyph drawn on various windows shows same corruption.
  * Problem comes and go.

  Cannot use nvidia proprietary driver as a workaround (does not work at
  all).

  # Context
  Laptop, using "intel" (or "nouveau" ?) driver.
  Expected: all glyphs rendered correctly.
  Observed: some glyphs not rendered correctly

  * reproducible: sometimes, eventually.  Problem comes and go, severity
  varies from one glyph (see
  2016y02m17d_18h08m27s_0100Z_x_bug_glyph_firefox_gnome_org.png ) to all
  text on screen fully unreadable  (see
  2016y02m10d_18h42m18s_0100Z_wow_screen_flickers_and_most_glyphs_wrong_01.png
  )

  * *some* glyphs are affected. For example, letter 'a' of a certain
  size will be replaced by colored garbage at many places where it
  appears (see
  2016y02m18d_16h05m35s_0100Z_same_corruption_on_different_windows.png
  ), but other 'a' with different size, italic, bold, etc will be
  unaffected.

  * in some applications (e.g. xfce whisker menu), some glyphs are
  rendered correctly or not depending on the direction of mouse
  hovering.  See video
  2016y02m16d_21h41m14s_0100Z_whisker_menu_missing_glyphs.mp4 .

  * in menu of gtk application, some glyphs are "fixed" by opening the
  menu, but not all.  For example, in xfce4-terminal, letter A of
  "Affichage" and its menu content as well as "Aide" is affected.
  Opening "Affichage" menu does not fix anything.  Opening "Aide" menu
  fixes the "A" of "Aide".  Changing window size reactivates the bug on
  "A" or "Aide".  See video 2016y02m18d_16h14m25s_0100Z_glyph-redrawn-
  bug.mp4 .

  * text under icons on desktop is affected, but shadows are not. See
