You have been subscribed to a public bug: On a fresh boot all works well, but after an indeterminate amount of time the screen starts tearing badly, most noticeably as a permanent vertical tear. Once this tearing starts, it affects everything (desktop, etc) but is mostly visible in videos. The only way to get rid of the tear is to reboot.
I do not know where this tearing is occurring, compositor? graphics driver? Hardware, Intel NUC5i5RYK (integrated graphics), LG 31MU97 DCI 4K monitor (4096x2160). Using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable between the NUC and monitor. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09) Software, Kubuntu 15.04 I also see the same problem in 15.10, but the computer I took the video of has 15.04 installed. The screen resolution is set to 4096x2160. In my syslog, I also see tons of these error messages (I dont know if they are related to the tearing). The error message repeats multiple times, and then stops. [ 668.879288] [drm:gen8_irq_handler [i915_bpo]] *ERROR* The master control interrupt lied (SDE)! I am hoping I can attach a video to this file which shows the tearing (5.7MB) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment wily -- Intel Graphics 4K Screen Tearing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535447 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
