[gnome] Ubuntu 12.04: graphical errors on return from Suspension

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 from CD and I really prefer the GNOME desktop to Unity. However when I reactivate my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop from Suspend Mode, after logging in, I've experienced consistent graphical errors to the point that I can no longer make out an icon from the other or restart the computer (see attached picture). I have an Nvidia GeForce 7400 graphic card so I installed the Recommended Additional Drivers of Nvidia. Can someone help me fix this problem, please? Any input is well appreciated.

Stories similar to [gnome] Ubuntu 12.04: graphical errors on return from Suspension

I have a secondary monitor connected to my Acer Aspire 8930 laptop. Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (1GB).

My setup worked fine in all previous carnations of Ubuntu; I installed the recommended Nvidia driver via "Additional drivers" and was able to connect and use the Samsung monitor through HDMI output.

The upgrade to 12.04 (64 bit) has rendered this impossible.

I've noticed computers that have restricted drivers..Nvidia/Ati that when you run Ubuntu for the first time you get some horrible graphical errors before you get the proper drivers installed.

Hi, I've installed gnome-session-fallback because I prefer classic gnome. My problem is that after logout and selecting "Gnome classic" my desktop looks like I have both: Unity and Gnome running at the same time (you can see this at the screenshot). How can I deal with it?

After suspend icons are blurry 31 weeks 3 days ago

After I resume from suspend mode the icons on the desktop are blurry. I have tried to solve this with "additional drivers" and also my graphics card (NVIDIA) is capable of rendering which I checked through terminal.

What could be the cause of this? I am pretty sure its up to the graphics card...but could it be an Ubuntu issue?

I have installed ubuntu on my laptop, but i am having problems with the hdmi port. It doesnt seem to exist.

I have a nvidia gt 415m graphic card and a core i5 which would point at a problem with optimus technology, so i tried to install the new nvidia driver 319, which should help with this problem.

So I turned on my computer and log into my gnome-shell session to find that the shell is gone, and there is instead a very thick panel with a vertically repeated pattern of the gradient the Unity panel displays. I ran some tests and found out that my graphic acceleration was failing.

I've been using ubuntu since 9.04 and never had a problem with Ubuntu bringing up the desktop graphical user interface. However I am currently not able to see anything graphical past the install screens.

I have an Intel DP55KG motherboard and just installed an nvidia gt630 graphics card (zotac), since the old graphics card failed.

I can install the server and see text.

Alright. Kind of complicated. The first problem is that I have a Mid-2012 9.1 Macbook Pro. Hehe. I will get the heckling later. Here's the problem. I have successfully installed Bumblebee. I do have Hybrid Graphics I believe. Intel 4000 HD and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650m. My issue is that the icon up on the Gnome bar in Ubuntu 12.04 will not let me turn on Bumblebee.

Dear All,

I've installed Fedora 17 onto an old Samsung X30 laptop, that includes an NVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5200 card. I'm using Nvidia driver version 173.14.36

When I try to suspend or hibernate, the laptop resumes immediately.

I have the following /var/log/message, that shows several errors : ACPI and nvidia related (NVRM, pci_legacy_suspend).
