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

 

I can confirm the same issue with my system, using an NVIDIA 660 GTX,
running Mint 17 with Nvidia drivers 331.38.  Turning off FXAA didn't
work for me.  None of the settings made a difference.  The only thing
worked was removing the NVIDIA settings file as suggested by xavier
zinn.  Now everything seems to be running flawlessly.

Title:
  NVidia Issues - blurry text after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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

  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
