Avishay, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per the release notes from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products /Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-P-Series- laptops/ThinkPad-P50?linkTrack=GPS%253ABody_Search%2BProducts&tabName=&beta=false an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.26). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: cursor mouse resolution ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.26 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569876 Title: Mouse trails disappear only on window refresh Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I move the mouse it leaves trails that disappear when I move the mouse over them or when I refresh the screen. The mouse cursor is distorted when moving it slowly which makes it harder to click on small buttons (e.g., resizing a window) as it's hard to tell where exactly the mouse is located. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04 apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 500 500 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-18.34-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-18-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: /dev/sda6: clean, 789425/48300032 files, 33613548/193179136 blocks CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Wed Apr 13 15:29:36 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: kubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.8, 4.4.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed bbswitch, 0.8, 4.4.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: No GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Skylake Integrated Graphics [8086:191b] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Skylake Integrated Graphics [17aa:222e] NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] [10de:13b1] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] [17aa:222e] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-01 (12 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20160331) MachineType: LENOVO 20EN0013US ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-18-generic root=UUID=8e0207fc-0fb8-42e7-9dfc-a301c74d2146 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/08/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: N1EET47W (1.21 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20EN0013US dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: SDK0J40705 WIN dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrN1EET47W(1.21):bd03/08/2016:svnLENOVO:pn20EN0013US:pvrThinkPadP50:rvnLENOVO:rn20EN0013US:rvrSDK0J40705WIN:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNone: dmi.product.name: 20EN0013US dmi.product.version: ThinkPad P50 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.12.2+16.04.20160331-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.67-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 11.2.0-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 11.2.0-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.10.1-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.7.0-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1build2 xserver.bootTime: Wed Apr 13 07:51:19 2016 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) Unknown chipset: NV117 xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1569876/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
