Ubuntu :: Tooltip Leaves Artifacts On Scrolling In Firefox
May 14, 2010I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but this is the biggest pain when I'm trying to read XKCD. When I mouse over an image in Firefox and the tooltip appears, and I scroll down when it's still there, the tooltip is replaced by a gray box.

Feb 3, 2011I am getting an annoying intermittent problem with my desktop/X. When I invoke popup menus (usually my cairo main menu from AWN) I get bits of it left over. This stays on top of any other window I open, but if I was to drag desktop icon over it, the image of that would replace it, this is also true for tooltips. If I open and shut the menu it eventually disappears but the timing of this is random also.

Debian Configuration :: Annoying Screen Artifacts Are Permanently Appearing?
Feb 4, 2010every now and then there appear ugly artefacts on my screen. Until yesterday it happened every five to ten minutes; now it happens every few seconds. It is no fun to work with such a system, it is extremely annoying... The artefacts remember me on the artefacts you had 20 years ago when you overwrote an analog VHS-cassette a hundred times, except that the screen looks perfect between the moments the ugly artefacts are present. My notebook is a cheap Acer Extensa 5230E, exact specifications is being made public by my vendor: [URL]

Ubuntu Installation :: Plymouth Load Screen Producing Video Artifacts On Higher Resolutions
May 1, 2010I have a problem with Plymouth. It works pretty well on low res, but on higher resolution some strange video artefacts appear - see attachments.
I use ATI proprietary drivers, if it has something to do with it.
The resolution is set in /etc/default/grub like this:
Code:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768x32
edit: reducing colour depth doesn't help /end edit
I don't know whether it has anything to do with the current problem, but Plymouth used not to appear at all until I followed these instructions (or actually I took them from another thread but I can't find it at the moment and these are the same).
I don't know whether it's possible to take them during booting so I've taken these photos with a mobile and retouched in gimp to remove reflections (more or less), and since I'm no pro photographer nor photoshop/gimp master they look as they look. They should do to demonstrate the problem, though.
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Screen Moves To The Left, Leaves Black Band... But Mouse Is Working On Absolute Places?
Oct 22, 2010I have a Dell Vostro 1220, with Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family graphics card. I work on OpenSuse 11.3 (64bit), on the latest kde.I work on an extended 1680x1050 screen on the left of my laptop screen (1280x800). I set this with Kxrandr and it worked great,a while... Now, it shows a black band on the right side of my laptop screen. I can live with that. But the mouse does not recalculate for this difference, so that I need to click 1 inch to the right of where I want to click.

Ubuntu :: Menus Off Bottom Of Screen?
Jul 3, 2010Using UNR10.04 and have an issue where menu screens are hanging off the bottom of the screen. Happens pretty regularly, but for example, a moment ago, I was trying to switch to Google Public DNS, in the network preferences, have to click apply/ok but cannot do so as the menu box is larger than the screen. Is there a way to scroll down or make the window smaller so that I can click buttons outside standard screen.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Graphical Artifacts - Read A Pdf-file - VLC GUI Itself Is Affected ?
Mar 26, 2011I sometimes experience rather significant visual artifacts in Maverick. Some programs are more affected than others, but the problem is systemwide. It's most obvious when trying to read a pdf-file, as you can see in the attachments.
Interestingly, video never seems to be affected; even when the artifacts are so bad I can barely see what I'm doing, watching a movie in VLC works without problem (although the VLC GUI itself is affected).
The problem doesn't appear every session, but it is common. Approximately every third session is affected, and once the artifacts appear they remain until I restart the computer.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Weird Artifacts With Nvidia Driver?
Apr 23, 2011I'm trying to get my nvidia card working on my Lucid machine using the proprietary driver (yes I know; have to have 3d for my Nexsuiz to work at a reasonable framerate). It works fine with the nv driver, but as soon as I use the nvidia driver I get a messed-up screen (see attachment). The /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the nvidia driver contains:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
[Code]...
So does anyone have suggestions to allow me to use the nvidia driver? Perhaps I need a custom modeline?

Jul 7, 2011I accepted the latest Natty update about which I was notified a couple of days ago (I don't remember exactly). I don't remember a new kernel being pushed out, but for the record I'm on 2.6.38-8-generic right now. I'm trying to interact with a USB compact flash reader and I'm getting ridiculously low throughput (less than 1 MB per second). Before this latest upgrade, I don't remember this being a problem.
Better yet, does anybody know what might be wrong and what I might be able to do to fix this?
Ubuntu :: Artifacts Left On Desktop After Switching To Awm Then Back To Gnome
Aug 13, 2010I recently tried out the awm version of the desktop environment. When I switched back to the Gnome desktop, I found a couple of titlebar-like artifacts left on the desktop.I did some experimenting, using System Monitor and the Kill xxxx command and managed to rid myself of one of the artifacts. The remaining artifact can be taken care of by using kill xxxx comand for the gtk-window-decorator but, this basically renders window buttons useless after the command is issued.
I think I had a couple applications running at startup in Gnome desktop before I switched to awm, and they didn't start at startup when I returned to Gnome desktop, but the titlebar-like artifacts did.Is there a way to reset the state of the gtk-window-decorator in a manner that is less destructive, and which allows my desktop to be clear of this artifact?
OpenSUSE :: 11.4 Gnome Visual Artifacts In Buttons
Mar 13, 2011I recently upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 using the "zypper dup"-method, because I have made good experiences with that approach with my last upgrade. However I have some strange visual artifacts throughout the system now. When a button is in its pushed state, then at the left and top edge, where normally a drop-shadow would be drawn, is a white bar, as shown in the picture below.This also applies to progress-bars (for example when starting eclipse but also for all other applications)Also the systems feels slower than usual when switching between applications. Can't tell if this is important, but I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M graphics card with the latest driver (version 260.19.44).
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Reinstalling 11.04 Leaves Me With Unusable X?
Aug 1, 2011this time last week I was happily running 10.10. I decided to upgrade to 11.04 via Update Manager (not a fresh install), and of course I didn't like Unity so gave Gnome3 a shot.
Well.. at this point the system would stall whilst booting.. so I downloaded the 11.04 disc and reinstalled it (I desperately need to keep my data and don't have any backup options at the moment).
But, now when I boot into Ubuntu (using an Acer Aspire 5741), the resolution is about 800x600, and the mouse doesn't work. Has anyone got any ideas how I can force Ubuntu to reconfigure the system as if it was a completely new install?
Ubuntu :: Big Slow Down After Update - Took 3 Seconds For The Mouse To Select The Pic
Nov 26, 2010I have Ubuntu Lucid Lynx since it came out, and until now it worked fine. I am updating regularly. Today too, I installed everything offered to me by updates manager (I looked through the list and didnt see anything I wouldnt want to update, but I dont remember everything that was there), and it asked for restart. Ok, so I restarted. Everything seemed fine. Then I tried to look at a picture, in normal,default viewer, an huh. It took 3 seconds for the mouse to select the pic, then another about 6 to open the viewer (and we are talking about a 40 KB pic). That was slow, but I thought maybe it was an accident. But no, everything I tried since goes slowly, at about a quarter of speed as before the update. I tried to remove unnecessary things with apt-get autoremove, I tried to stop or end all processes that seemed unnecessary, with no result. I restarted thrice. Nothing comes to mind anymore.
