Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Could you clarify what you mean by "Ugly", or if possible, attach a picture of the screen?

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Hi

I can't take a printscreen because this screen appears after I successfully logged In and before Unity (and compiz) set-up :(

This screen looks like a memory dump which have been sent to the display ... pixels of different colours (no form)

It appears during 3 through 8 seconds then Unity appears

I have it at every session

Hope this can help

If you have a digital camera, a photograph of the screen would probably do.

This sounds similar to bug #931967. See if your corruption resembles the picture attached to that bug.

Hi

I do not have such clear images in my screen but I've discovered that there are some ghost images from previous session when I
logout then login.

Yes it's the same than https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/931967

I will close this one
