Roberto Sosa Cano, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product- support/product/precision-t5500/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A16). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a16 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411560 Title: Graphics performance degrades with time in 14.04 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After several days using the system the graphics performance degrades. I cannot find any information in syslog or dmesg. It takes an awful amount of time to open a new window, and during that time the mouse is trapped into one of the monitors (cannot move to the other one). Also I've noticed that the Unity notification bar freezes and I cannot access any of the icons there, and the clock is just frozen. HDD, memory and CPU load seem normal. The only solution I've found is to reboot. Thanks in advance.
