[Bug 1307236] [NEW] NVidia Issues - blurry text after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04

 

Public bug reported:

I have a System76 Bonoboo with a GeForce GTX 670MX

I upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and after the upgrade finished I logged
in and the text in the windows would get blurry until I refocused on the
window and then get blurry again. I tried various nvidia installs
(nvidia-common, nvidia-prime, etc.) and when I would reboot I would get
the lightdm screen to authenticate but the dash panel would not appear
after logging in.

Looking at .xsessions I noticed:

init: at-spi2-registryd main process ended, respawning
init: at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast, stopped

My workaround has been:

apt-get purge nvidia* 
and then to run  NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.49.run 

xrandr shows:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3280 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
LVDS-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 215mm
   1920x1080      60.0*+   40.0  
HDMI-0 connected 1360x768+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 880mm x 506mm

   1280x768       59.9  
   1280x720       60.0     59.9  
   1024x768       60.0  
   800x600        60.3  
   720x480        59.9     60.1  
   640x480        59.9     59.9  
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Let me know if any other information would be helpful. I have seen that
there are some nvidia related issues that will hopefully be worked out.
I just wanted to document my experience in case others have a similar
problem.

Peace - Anthony
