[Bug 886833] Re: gdm-greeter unusable because filled with pixel garbage

 

Purging -nouveau and letting X use -nv instead fixed it. Re-installing
-nouveauand checking the X log revealed that AIGLX libraries
nouveau_vieux_dir.so cannot be found at the expected path. Could this be
the cause?

Title:
  xf86-video-nouveau: breaks GTK2 pixmap support

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  on Lucid, since whichever update, GDM no longer displays a usable
  greeter content. Instead, the mouse cursor leaves a trail of its
  pointer icon in it and the face browser that should appear isn't
  there. This was working fine until a few months ago, when I last
  logged into my LTSP server to work locally rather than via a thin
  client.
