[Bug 1516263] Re: Texts are not rendering properly in 15.10 which causes xorg to restart
Pavak Paul:
1) Did this issue not occur in a release prior to 15.10?
2) What release will you be using going forward so we may focus on that?
3) Are your results in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1516263/comments/6 with the nouveau drivers? If so, do the nvidia drivers still WORKAROUND the issue?
** Description changed:
- When I ran Ubuntu 15.10 from Live session I found some letters are not
- showing at all, some very white or bold. Sometimes hovering on them
- shows the original text, sometimes blinking. This often restarts xorg.
+ When I ran Ubuntu 15.10 from Live session I found some letters are not showing at all, some very white or bold. Sometimes hovering on them shows the original text, sometimes blinking. This often restarts xorg.
+ In xenial, xorg doesn't restart, but the font problem is still there.
WORKAROUND: Install the nvidia proprietary drivers.
