Why does my login screen look broken?
Occasionally, when I restart my computer and boot ubuntu (I have dual boot with Windows 10), my Ubuntu login screen looks fragmented. I'm using Nvidia graphics driver version 470 (proprietary), and I have secure boot disabled. I can still type in my password (though I can't see what is happening) and it will display my desktop like normal after I login.
Additional Details I can re-create this issue by doing the following:
- Boot into Windows
- Suspend Windows (Put to sleep)
- Resume into Windows
- Reboot computer
- Boot into Ubuntu
Solution 1:
Disable fast start
- boot into Windows
- open the Power control panel
- choose
change what the power buttons do
- choose
change options that are unavailable
- uncheck
fast startup
- close the Power control panel
Don't do this if you use hibernation
- open an administrative command prompt window
- type
powercfg /h off
Check your C: drive
- type
chkdsk /f c:
- approve to run chkdsk at next reboot
- reboot into Windows to let chkdsk run on drive C:
Check your Ubuntu partition
- boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB in “Try Ubuntu” mode
- open a
terminal
window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T - type
sudo fdisk -l
- identify the /dev/sdXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
- type
sudo fsck -f /dev/sdXX
, replacingsdXX
with the number you found earlier - repeat the
fsck
command if there were errors - type
reboot
