Public bug reported:
Precise LTS was installed on this Pentium4 computer with an NVidia
legacy-graphics card. Gnome looks Ok at first glance now upon installing all
the software-updates, but when Applications are launched, the corresponding
windows are invisible, semm to be mostly transparent.
This is my third choice choice actually. First I tried installing 'Linux Mint
Cinnamon', which did not work, looked OK from the live CD, but did not look OK
anymore once installed to harddrive, because the bottom-panel was missing then.
'Linux Mint 13 Mate' installed next, this worked OK, but did not start up
cleanly either, my monitor showed 'Signal out of sync range' and could not
display anything while starting up the system until some garbled words showed
briefly and mdm was visible.
I tried to fix this by setting the kernel-boot option 'vga=ask' instead of
'silent splash' in /etc/default/grub , but this did not work either, boot hung,
so I went for pure Ubuntu. Installation-report-bugs can not be filed using
apport-bug in linux-mint, so I give feedback now this way.
Will proprietary NVidia-legacy-drivers be made available to Ubuntu-
users, once compatible versions are released by the vendor, or did they
completely drop support for their legacy-hardware ?
I will probably reinstall the whole system once again only with gnome-
classic, and/or maybe the mate-desktop.
