Public bug reported:
This is going to be difficult to gather information on. I just updated my
system today, and my system got borked.
There was a new kernel in the update so it required a reboot.
At the login screen, I noticed that the mouse pointer was garbage. Also the
login screen never finished drawing. There were blank rectangles where the
username or any other text should be.
I was able to login by hitting return and typing my password.
My background image showed up, but the mouse pointer was still garbage. All of
the icons in the panel were either missing or garbage. Some of the gnome
applets were working (those that drew their own graphics, not those that used
icons). I was able to start some applications by clicking where I knew their
icons were in the panel, but they did not draw correctly. If I clicked on the
main menu, the menu opened, but was not drawn.
I tried to use a text terminal, but when I switched to any text terminal page,
it started to fill up with this error message:
[drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Invalid command stream !
This means I am unable to use the text consoles to do anything.
I was able to shut down the system by opening a terminal window, and blindly
typing (because no text was displayed) "sudo shutdown -h now"
My system is unusable, I'm being forced to use a windows machine to report this
bug. HELP!
