I recently upgraded from nvidia-370 to nvidia-375 as part of my efforts to install CUDA/Tensorflow, but I'm now getting a weird bug. Upon resuming from sleep, these glitchy borders appear around all windows and menu elements.

I've had bugs like this before, but the " pressctrl + alt + f1 and then ctrl + alt + f7" method, which worked with other sleep bugs, doesn't fix this problem. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or is my only option to downgrade to the 370 driver? I'm running 16.04 on kernel 4.4.0-62-generic

Same problem. My driver was updated to nvidia-375 after upgrading cuda.

I found that restarting the window manager with

unity --replace

fixed this, although some windows crashed (Chrome for example) in the process.

Restarting compiz mighty also work, though I haven't tried it.

Edit: compiz --replace seems to work better for this, with little or no window crashing.

Got the same issue with new drivers (378.13). Try to set old version in System Settings -> Additional Drivers. In my case work fine with 367.57

Same problem here after upgrade nvidia driver to versio 375.39. In case of Intel driver, everything is fine. It's look like nvidia screwd up something. Any solution?

I fixed it by add sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

and install nvidia-370

This bug is already logged on Launchpad Someone suggested a temporary fix which worked great for me and that I reproduce here:

Create a file /lib/systemd/system-sleep/fixborders with the editor of your choice with root permissions. (If you don't know, just type gksudo gedit /lib/systemd/system-sleep/fixborders in a terminal) with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
kill $(ps -C compiz -o pid=)

Give that file excutable permissions:

sudo chmod +x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/fixborders

Et voila!
