    Graphical anomaly before shutdown.

    When I click the "Leave"-button before choosing "Shutdown" The whole screen (except for the dialogue-window containing the choices) goes "glitchy". I can't find a better word for it. It's like a distorted mess framing the choices (Shutdown, Log Out etc.).

    What could be causing this?

    This is not good when I want to impress my Windows using friends with my shiny new Kubuntu desktop.

    Re: Graphical anomaly before shutdown.

    Could you please post some specs of your machine?
    - ram, video card, cpu, motherboard, etc.

    Then it will be easier to give you some help.

      Re: Graphical anomaly before shutdown.

      This might be a bit overkill, or it might not.
      I'm running the 64-bit 8.10 version of Kubuntu.
      Anyway, I hope this is enough.
      Unfortunately I can't provide a screenshot since the "Print screen"-feature doesn't work in that state.

      Code:
      $ cat /proc/cpuinfo

        Re: Graphical anomaly before shutdown.

        Okay, you have a a nivdea video card on 64bil system.

        Unfortunately I am no expert on either but if you change your title to something reflecting your card and 64bit I am sure that someone will jump aboard.

        Maybe:
        isuues with nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2) on AMD 64bit
        and post it in the hardware support section of intrepid.

        Sorry I can't be of more help.
