After a fresh installation of Lubuntu 13.10 the default background image is distorted (the provided image shows a part of it). All GUI elements are displayed correctly. If I then select a different user in the drop-down list, like the Guest Session, the background is reloaded and displays correctly.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I use a MacMini 3,1 with an Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics card and a 1280x1024 (LCD) monitor.

  • Do '.png' files load normally? - could be graphics. Anyway, if the GUI's work, just change the background (perhaps to a jpg, as I think the default background is png). This also allows for any customization if you want any. – Wilf Nov 28 '13 at 21:18
  • PNG files load normally in the sense that the default background is displayed correctly after I switch user in LightDM (without logging in). I suspect that the display corruption is caused by the display driver for some reason not getting the correct screen resolution initially. – August Karlstrom Dec 01 '13 at 14:27

    Changing the background still might help - it is simple as changing one line in the config file. If you want to ask about Nvidia drivers, search the forum first, as half the questions on here seem to be about Nvidia drivers. – Wilf Dec 01 '13 at 14:37
  • @wilf OK, thanks for the input. I'll change the background while waiting for a real fix. – August Karlstrom Dec 01 '13 at 15:54
