I have the exact same problem as hansie describes. I am trying to put Trusty (14.04 LTS, 32 bit version) on a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697 with an AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core processor, 1024 DDR2 SDRAM--same laptop as hansie. There is no flickering/blinking on the original download of Trusty with Linux 3.13.0-32. The flickering/blinking started, when I did my first update to Linux 3.13.0-48. I did a further update to Linux 3.13.0-49 and the problem continued. So at least 2 people have this problem and I am pretty sure that any other Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697 user has the same problem. I see the problem is labelled as low priority. To me it is not low priority, because I would like to have a long term support (LTS) os on my computer. However, if the problem is fixed in 15.04 (as hansie states), I guess I could go with that until the next LTS.
Has anybody tried the 64 bit version of 14.04??? Are people moving on to 15.04, so this problem is likely never to be fixed in 14.04 LTS??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1405277 Title: screen flicker in ubuntu 14.04.1 and derivatives To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1405277/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
