Sergio Schneider, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Does use the nivida proprietary drivers provide a WORKAROUND as outlined in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?

Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch) Absolutely yes, but only after installation to hd/ssd, no way to make it work in live mode (if so, I don't know how to do it)

Sergio Schneider, to clarify, this is not reproducible using the nvidia proprietary drivers?

That is correct, after installation, If I install nvidia drivers the problem gets solved

Hi Christian, I will do it but only on next friday, I'm away from home for
the next days (I am an airline captain).
In mean time, I foresee we will have the release of Wily with this problem?
This will affect many nvidia users when booting in live mode, this is bad
for *buntu distros.
I tested ubuntu mate, xubuntu and kubuntu, all have the same problem, did
not Ubuntu though...
Thank you for replying.

Regards
Sergio
