2014-03-22 00:58:28 thom description steps: 1) cold boot (power on) 2) choose boot (grub) 3) login (lightdm) When logging in, the login rectangle doesn't disappear like it should. 4) Xorg starts Desktop appears but the outline of the login-rectangle is still there. Also everything else that is drawn on the screen stays drawn (i.e. closed windows are still visable, a moved window leaves a "trail") as if the system "forgets" to erase previously drawn objects. Strangely enough, the mousepointer doesn't seem to be affected. 5) logout (to lightdm) or: sudo restart lightdm or: sudo killall -SIGTERM Xorg or: sudo reboot 6) login again Everything is suddenly working as it should ( high order magic ?? ) I have had this problem before with kernels newer than 3.13.0-8 but a kernel header install followed by a kernel image reinstall would always fix it. Since kernel 3.13.0-18 this fix doesn't work anymore. I assume the problem is (partly) in KMS since it appears in lightdm (before X starts) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-18.38-generic 3.13.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-18-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.13.3-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Sat Mar 22 01:15:43 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-01-04 (76 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha i386 (20140102) SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) steps: 1) cold boot (power on) 2) choose boot (grub) 3) login (lightdm) When logging in, the login rectangle doesn't disappear like it should. 4) Xorg starts Desktop appears but the outline of the login-rectangle is still there.
