Bug Description

After performing all upgrades and installing some extra packages (gimp, unattended updates, libreoffice, vino, openssh) and purging some other (gnumeric, abiword) on fresh install I've started suffering strange graphical issues (glitches) - see the attached screenshots.

Tomorrow I will try to boot once again from USB the live session to verify it's not hardware-related.

As for now... anybody experiencing this?

Hmm... when I removed 2 additional DDR RAM modules (out of 4), being said, leaving just the original two, glitches do not appear.

Interresting on this is that I let memtest+ running overnight with all 4 modules for 17 hours and... no error at all.

Weird. Need some more tests.

I would like to post it, but the computer is now located outside of my office and I've not yet managed to connect to it remotely due to missing UTP cable there... When I manage to connect to it, I will execute it and post here. Thanks for involvement.

I suggest closing this, because the PC is out of my physical reach now.

If you really want to have (need) that debug info, I can do it for you, otherwise let's close it... Thanks!
