[Bug 75214] Re: Screen occasionally offset to the left

2008-02-18 Thread a7x
For reference: This problem appears to have been caused by a kernel console bug that was fixed in 2.6.22 (see the Linux kernel mailing list thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/27/370), so this problem should be gone in Gutsy. Possibly related or duplicate Ubuntu bugs: bug #100105, bug #139546,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you while using Feisty? Thanks in advance. -- Screen occasionally offset to the lef

I still haven't found the script that makes this happen, but a quick workaround is to switch terminals. Press ctrl+alt+f4 (for example) and then switch back to the graphical terminal with ctrl+alt+f7. Let's hope feisty fixes this. -- Screen occasionally offset to the left https://launchpad.net/b

This just happened to me again, and as I was halfway through typing something I kept going. About two minutes later, the screen shifted even more. -- Screen occasionally offset to the left https://launchpad.net/bugs/75214 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ub

Just for your information, I'm think I'm on my way to find the cause of the problem. I think it is one of the daily cron scripts. What I've done now is that I mode all files from /etc/cron.daily another directory. Since then, the problem has not occured. Now i'm moving one script per day back to /e

OK, it doesn't have to do with updatedb either. Today I resumed from a more-than-week-long hibernation; the screen shifted while updatedb was running (as usual); I re-hibernated and resumed; the screen soon shifted again. I also checked for dmesg entries, but there were none at the time the error o

Joachim: if you have an nVidia card, you can search for "nvidia-glx" in Synaptic, and look at the installed version number there. However, I doubt that this problem has to do with the driver version, after all. Do you also have a Dell laptop? I've also noticed that the problem doesn't seem to be r

Some more results of my troubleshooting: The problem doesn't have to do with the restricted nVidia drivers. I recently changed from the non-free ("nvidia") driver to the free ("nv") driver, and the problem still appeared after a while. What about you, Joachim, are you using the nVidia drivers as

This happens to me as well. It started after I ran several recommended updates this Monday; most notably xorg and xserver-xorg from version 1:7.1.1ubuntu6 to 1:7.1.1ubuntu6.2. It happened during the upgrade in question, and since then, it has happened once shortly after each time I resume from hibe
