I'm having a problem on Ubuntu 24.04. After a fresh installation, I notice that there are graphical bugs appearing in Gnome. My config is as follows:
kernel : 6.8.0_36-generic
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
2x Intel cores 2 duo T9550 @ 2,66ghz
3,8 giga RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 9600M GT (rev a1)
Menus and listmenu are often invisible (the elements appear when hovering the cursor) or twinkle. This bug is present in gnome-control-center, nautilus but also in the gnome scanner application. In the gnome control center the list of wallpapers or theme colors is not displayed and twinkle. gnome-software also encounters the same type of problem. Sometimes the desktop freezes completely and I have to do a hard reboot (even though ssh responds well). I installed kde via apt install kubuntu-desktop. and I encounter much fewer problems with KDE applications. But even under kde, gnome applications have bugs. On the Kde side only the system monitoring application is not displayed correctly. sddm is also unusable. I have to stay on gdm3. When I start grub with the nomodeset parameter there are no more problems. The problem appears both under X and Wayland
Here are the logs that I was able to recover before a freeze or when displaying wallpapers under Gnome.

The problem therefore seems to be on the nouveau driver. Unfortunately the graphics card is too old to be compatible with a proprietary Nvidia driver.
Note that the problem appears in the live session before installation, but this problem was not present on version 23.10 of Ubuntu.
Do you know what I can do?
