This is reproducible on the live desktop from ubuntu-12.04.5.iso running on a Thinkpad T42 (radeon graphics) - boot the iso, start xterm and the typed text is immediately corrupted with characters being replaced with white boxes, but dragging the window causes the boxes to be replaced by the expected characters.

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
This bug is easily reproducible using nvidia-binary drivers (even the latest experimental) on Saucy/Precise; however you need to set your nvidia driver into a low performance state. You can use an xorg.conf with the following: Section Device Identifier Device0 Driver nvidia VendorName NVIDIA Corporation BoardName Quadro 600 Option RegistryDwords PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x3 EndSection Then I've been able to reproduce simply by opening xterm, and typing dmesg a few times until I see missing text. To workaround this issue I can use the following setting in CCSM: CCSM - Workarounds - Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint [force_swap_bufferss] I've also tested the latest PPA from ppa:smspillaz/compiz-experimental (compiz 1:0.9.10.2-1-experimental1+bzr3747-201306271732~saucy1) and found that the following experiment still produces corruption, but within a second or two it gets rendered properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
This problem is reproducible with programs that link against libtinfo (from ncurses), like gnome-terminal, xterm or gvim, but it is not reproducible with programs that don't, like konsole. It's assigned here to compiz, probably because changing some compiz settings makes it sometimes go away, or because it's been reported that newer versions of compiz fix this issue. However, I can reproduce it in cinnamon, and it's been reported to be reproducible in KDE, so it's likely not really compiz's fault. My guess is that it is an issue in the interaction of ncurses with an OpenGL composite window manager (be it compiz, mutter, or whatever KDE uses). I can reproduce with nvidia cards, and people have been reproducing it with radeon cards, so it also looks like it's not a specific xdriver issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
I'm afraid switching distributions might not help since this is happening on Gentoo as well. The corruption is less pervasive in gnome- terminal, and that's what I've been using for now, but it happens in a number of other applications (like gvim) as well (but in many others it doesn't). I am sort of managing by forcing a redraw by just scrolling the terminal or the text buffer in gvim a bit when it happens, but it's still pretty annoying.

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
Just this Friday I got around to testing compiz 0.9.8.6 on Gentoo (mesa upgrades did not help), and it fixes this bug for me. Unfortunately 0.9.8 on Gentoo has issues with several plugins not working correctly (e.g. place windows not working at all, all windows open at top left corner), so I'll have to revert to 0.8.8 as it works correctly with the indirect rendering option (which 0.9.8 no longer appears to have). BTW, this is what I use after login to check whether the bug has gone away. I have xterm with white background and visual bell, and a fast(ish) key repeat rate. I open xterm and hold a key to produce ~20 characters. then I hold the left key to go to the start of the line and the visual bell flashes the background black a couple of times. Then I hold the right key to go to the end of the line, and it is on this return trip that the block cursor leaves black boxes on some of the characters. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attached screen shot shows two views of the same window. The one in the foreground shows the problems. How to duplicate the problem. 1. Click on XTERM on the menu bar to open a new xterm window 2. Hold down the Enter key for 20 lines or so. That's what you see: the prompt disappears and the vertical white 'line' appears 3. Click out of the window to another window and the window is redrawn correctly (i.e., the prompts re-appear). The problem (i.e., display corruption) occurs at various other times as well and comes close to rendering the program unusable.

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
I have this bug on Gentoo, running xterm under compiz, Radeon card with gallium drivers. Before hardware upgrade the system had nVidia card with nVidia's proprietary drivers, software otherwise the same, and it did not have this bug. When I have time I plan to try upgrading to Gentoo's unstable versions of mesa etc. to see if they will fix the bug, but for now I use the workaround of (re)starting compiz with the --indirect-rendering option, which seems to get rid of the symptoms. Other people here might want to test if it works for them also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I reported #894083 but I think it's a duplicate of this. I find turning off compiz, or setting 'compizgeneralforce full screen redraws' works around this issue, but they're neither ideal. 'Fix screen updates in XGL with fglrx' significantly reduces the frequency with which I experience this, but doesn't resolve it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm seeing something that sounds similar to this (I think), but I'm not using Unity at all. Using Xorg, xdm and fvwm and periodically I get black and white blocks of corruption all over the screen. Forcing a redraw fixes *most* of the blocks, but not all. It *seems* that if the system is busy with I/O that makes the problem more likely to show up.

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
I have also been having this bug. I have tried quite a few things to narrow it down but I could not find anything too definitive. Basically, to reproduce it, I just go into a big php file and search for a string that will cause vim to jump around the file a lot. Every once in a while, when it should be redrawing the screen (I think...) is when this bug occurs and there will be text corruption. I have reproduced this in both xterm and gnome-terminal, so I don't think it is a problem with any specific terminal. Also, the actual corruption that occurs is different with each terminal. In gnome-terminal it will just show the same text as before the search jumped around the file, but the cursor and half the character after it will be changed to what should be displayed. Moving the cursor up and down will fix stuff line by line. Xterm on the other hand will jump to the correct location and redraw most of the screen, however chunks of text will simply be completely missing (see attachment). I did a few tests with xterm to try to further pin down what was causing it to fail and I think the main problem was the font. I tried using the default xterm font and color scheme and everything seemed to work fine. After changing the color scheme to the gnome-terminal scheme that ships with ubuntu, it was also running fine. However once I changed the font to Ubuntu Mono, size 13, the text corruption started. So either I was just getting really lucky or the errors were extremely rare using the normal font, or the change in font is somehow related to this bug. And finally, I am able to completely get rid of this bug by switching from unity to unity 2d. I am using 11.10 with pretty much all default settings and the default nvidia driver. Hope this helps, please let me know if you guys need any more info! ** Attachment added: Text corruption in vim, xterm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/861268/+attachment/2638762/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-12-18%2016%3A48%3A08.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
My dev setup: nvidia drivers ubuntu 11.10 64bit xterm vim I've tried two possible solutions mentioned here: http://lists.clug.org.za/pipermail/clug-tech/2011-June/045329.html Which are: CCSM - Workarounds - Fix screen updated in XGL with fglrx CCSM - Workarounds - Force synchronization between X and GLX But these didn't work for me. I do find that if I turn off syntax colors in vim the problem seems to go away (or at least the probability of it occurring is so low I haven't yet seen it). alt-tab then escape is a way to redraw the xterm screen as well. I can't seem to turn on unity-2d as in James' instructions. unity-2d is installed but not option in the gears menu (I haven't hunted for an alternate way to turn it on as yet). It'd be great if someone has another workaround that doesn't involve turning off syntax highlighting.

When you file bugs against xorg, please always include your kernel and X logs, photo examples, and other relevant information. The command: apport-collect 861268 should help gather this information. The photos you'll need to take manually (generally X corruption at the driver level doesn't show up in screenshots.) Since you're using the nvidia driver, that seems a more likely culprit than X itself; nvidia replaces pretty much all of X's rendering stack with its own stuff. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) = nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 861268] Re: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs
Tested with metacity (metacity --replace) configured as the compositing manager (gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general and checking compositing_manager). In a plain gnome-terminal, I'm still seeing the problem when recalling command-line history (ctrl+r and start typing).
