[nouveau] Screen corruption after suspend

[Maxim Jaffe]

I consistently get screen corruption after a suspend in the wake-up screen (the one with the arrows you drag) and login screen.

Sometimes I have trouble dragging the wake-up screen to get the login screen. Sometimes I am able to get the login screen (although all text is corrupted) and login back into my session.

After login screen corruption is inconsistent, at times the whole session is corrupted (see attachment), sometimes only text is corrupted (icons, desktop is okay) and sometimes there is no corruption.

One workaround that seems to avoid the situation is to disable all automatic suspend options in the power settings.

Note that I have recently upgraded from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS Beta (1?).

Your version of mesa looks out of date. Can you please update the system and tell us if the problem still occurs?

Sorry no longer have Ubuntu installed on my machine..!

What I can confirm was that at the time it was a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 Beta (about a month before it's actual full release), I believe I had all the updates.

In general terms with this computer model of mine, screen corruption after the computer sleeping has been an on and off problem, particularly with the Ubuntu distro on different versions..!

If it helps I am currently using Manjaro Linux which does not seem to have this issue..!

Thanks for the reply!
