Everything was working fine just last night; I don't think that I even did any updates yesterday! I turn on my computer this morning and notice a very nasty looking image stuck on the bottom of my screen: http://i.imgur.com/WPEmx.jpg
As of now, my computer feels extremely glitchy. I can't open any context menus (right clicking), I can't open any of the menus on the top of X (time/calendar, system menu, sounds, etc.), and the cursor seems to be completely buggy too -- If I have a textbox in focus (eg. the address bar in Firefox), I can see it repeatedly flashing at way too high a speed. I tried doing a Ctrl+Alt+F1 and logging in through there, but as soon as I typed in my username and was prompted for my password, the thing started spitting out this on repeat: ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ ^@^@^@
I ended up loading up one of the previous linux versions (the earliest version I have available), and things are at least somewhat more usable here; but I notice the same issues are on here too, the icon is there but its continuously going on and off.
Honestly I don't even know where to begin with this. Whats going on ?? How can I fix this bug? And what even caused it to come up? Please help, Ubuntu forums
