Bug Description

on Lucid, since whichever update, GDM no longer displays a usable greeter content. Instead, the mouse cursor leaves a trail of its pointer icon in it and the face browser that should appear isn't there. This was working fine until a few months ago, when I last logged into my LTSP server to work locally rather than via a thin client.

GDMgreeter - pixel garbage - Screenshot Edit (2.0 MiB, image/jpeg)

Here's what it looks like. The GTK and icon theme is the HumanLogin remaining from older Ubuntu updates, while the wallpaper was set using 'sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/wallapper.jpg'

Purging -nouveau and letting X use -nv instead fixed it. Re-installing -nouveauand checking the X log revealed that AIGLX libraries nouveau_vieux_dir.so cannot be found at the expected path. Could this be the cause?

Any news on this? Is the report missing any meaningful information before it can be acted upon?

Try a newer release (preferably precise), lucid is obsolete when it comes to nouveau.
