I found out that when this bug appears, what's actually happens is that there is a console "hiding" behind the GUI. When I type anything, then what I am actually typing is an input into the console.
So for instance, when these corruptions appear, and I type the letter "r" (without pressing ALT-F2 first), it will restart Gnome Shell. It's a bit hard to describe, but it's basically a mixture between GUI and command prompt. The GUI is there, but the command prompt is there and working, manifesting as the corruption. I don't know how to turn off the GUI to see the actual console, unfortunately. CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. only take me to other workspaces. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899669 Title: Screen Corruption and crash after Gnome Shell login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/899669/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
