** Description changed: - Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (updated from 12.04) / NVIDIA GeForce 8 proprietary - driver. + [ Impact ] - This bug happens to me from 12.04 from some update I think. - It appears mostly when I open a new application and only ocassionally. - As temporary "solution" creating some other event like opening Unity dash or opening some next window, etc. fix it. Then window content is refreshed and I can see all correctly. - Same with stable and experimental nvidia drivers. + With nVidia hardware from time to time window content is rendered black + or transparent. The problem manifests more frequently as session uptime + increases. - Screenshot of this bug is attached. + Apparently the problem was caused by textures being cached and not + freed, resulting in memory exhaustion conditions. It turns out the + texture caching is unnecessary anyway. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 - Package: unity 6.8.0-0ubuntu2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 - Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] je adresářem: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' - .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" - .proc.driver.nvidia.version: - NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 304.48 Sun Sep 9 20:22:27 PDT 2012 - GCC version: gcc version 4.7.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) - .proc.driver.nvidia.warnings.fbdev: - Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console - on the primary VGA device.
