I'm using ubuntu 16.04 LTS

after I shut down the laptop with power button anytime I hover any icon on the left side launcher the screen is flickering(all of the launcher gets hidden for a while and gets back and the applications are still there) and the dash is not opening .the shut down in the menu on top right does not bring the window which makes the laptop shut down.

I found this on google: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2061180

It requested the following commands:

cat /etc/lsb-release  
uname -a    
lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga   
env | grep DESK

the result of commands are:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"

Dash Home will not open

the same solutions didn't work. I used ccsm to restart the unity. But it again flickers with hovering the luncher's icons.(the launcher gets hidden for a while)

the error report from ubuntu is as following: compiz crashed with sigsev

  • @unhammer I used ccsm command to disable and reenable the unity. And tried to find a driver which was missing but couldnt find any. Jan 25, 2018 at 5:01
  • Also there is no nvidia in vga same as the one in the link. Jan 25, 2018 at 5:09
  • Sounds like this bug that came out early January 2018: askubuntu.com/questions/992571/… Feb 1, 2018 at 3:40
  • After running sudo apt-get upgrade -y the bug was fixed. Feb 4, 2018 at 19:18
