So, after my machine ran out of battery power while suspended, I booted it up to be greeted with the most strange bug I’ve ever seen on a linux machine: All my text was screwed up. In every application, including GDM. It disappeared after I ran an apt-get upgrade and rebooted. Has anyone else ever seen this bug? I’m running Ubuntu 10.04, for the record. Screenshot after the jump.
TEXT, Y U NO READABLE?

I’ve seen other people encounter this issue, one had black squares where there should have been letters, another had “japanese text” instead. In both cases, some letters were OK, others were not.
I’m glad it went away for you, I’m not sure how it worked out for the others.
