Garbled text in Wily installer with GeForce GTX750

[Olli Niemi]

Just downloaded Wily final and tried to install it with the graphical installer. I see some garbled text: there are usually pieces of text missing (blocks) or text is replaced with white artifacts. I was barely able to go through the install by remembering the options. This is visible also after rebooting to the fresh install of Ubuntu 15.10. Installing nvidia-352 fixes this problem. Here is how the problem looks like in the installer: http://imgur.com/MdlBGUU

The screenshot is from Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 but it is exactly the same in Ubuntu 15.10.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same problem with Ubuntu regular iso (Unity), also the session crash after a few minutes or doesnt start at all.

Workaround: boot the live usb with the "nomodeset" option to avoid loading the Nvidia driver.
