[Bug 1854621] Re: ubuntu 20.04 daily boots with no (or warped) background, selecting other background has warped wallpaper

[Chris Guiver]

Ubuntu jammy daily ISO (canary) used in LIVE mode on same box
- dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)

machine operates perfectly though.  Background today was only BLACK (no
wallpaper), none showed with 6 attempts to change, but all BLACK is
possibly better than glitchy/warped.

The bug today could be described as incapable of changing wallpaper on
box.  I'm doing boot tests today & will very on next boot that I can
change wallpaper (ie. I believe related to video card)

Title:
  ubuntu 20.04 daily boots with no (or warped) background, selecting
  other background has warped wallpaper

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 20.04 daily - verified (check disc for defects) prior to boot.
  dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550)

  On booting, the 20.04 daily has no background when desktop is loaded?
  (ie. top panel is there, dock on left side on black screen)

  When changing background (to any already installed), they are warped
  when selected and made the bacground as if corrupted (but small image
  where selection is made looks valid).


  This issue may relate to video card  [radeon]
