Bug Description
Sorry to be so vague in the Title/Summary, but I really just don't know how to describe it... I installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with the Beta 1 ISO, ran 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and then at some point in the 'setting up' part of the upgrade the screen suddenly just became:
Strange_
And upon moving my mouse nothing happened for a while until suddenly a weird view of my mouse appeared, and then when I moved it a little again it was gone (and then when moving my mouse about 10% of the time I would get it come into view and look similar to how it does in the screenshot):
Strange_
I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful than that, I really have no idea why it came, and as I wasn't looking at my machine the whole time I don't know what came just before it was triggered... But this is a VM (32-bit, though the host machine is 64-bit).

well that is indeed strange! perhaps a graphics driver update or something caused the glitch, there has been a new kernel since beta 1 was released.
Did the dist-upgrade finish? Does this persist after reboot?
Can you attach logs (and run apport-collect)
