Per OP comment, this isn't chromium-specific (gnome image viewer also affected). Re-targetting the bug at unity.
** Package changed: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - Very dark chromium interface and pages when hardware acceleration is enabled + Very dark interface when launcher on secondary monitor -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754394 Title: Very dark interface when launcher on secondary monitor Status in unity package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I switched back to FF when Quantum came out, this is why I hadn't realised this until today that I had to use hangouts in Chromium. For some reason, it's like gamma for the Chromium windows is dialled almost all the way down when hardware acceleration is enabled. Please see screenshots. The "chromium-no-hw-accel.png" screenshot shows the same colours as Firefox and Qupzilla. I've since tried on other browsers using chromium to the same effect: * Google Chrome 65.0.3325.146 * Opera 51.0.2830.55 * Chromium 64.0.3282.167-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 (as per bug report). This happens on intel HD630 graphics. I have a bumblebee/bbswitch set up but it seems unable to boot Chromium at all with HW on. I haven't been able however to see the same stuff on Electron apps though (VS Code and Slack). My setup: * XPS 9560 * Bumblebee / bbswitch set up * i7-7700HQ / Intel HD630 * Ubuntu 17.10 * Unity 7 * Kernel 4.13.0-36-generic ~ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "AccelMethod" "sna" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "3" EndSection ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: chromium-browser 64.0.3282.167-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-36.40-generic 4.13.13 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-36-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity:Unity7:ubuntu DRM.card0-DP-1: enabled: enabled dpms: On status: connected edid-base64: AP///////wAQrG2gVVZUMB8VAQMONR546rsEoVlVnigNUFSlSwBxT4GA0cABAQEBAQEBAQEBAjqAGHE4LUBYLEUAEyshAAAeAAAA/wBOUlBQNTE3VTBUVlUKAAAA/ABERUxMIFAyNDExSAogAAAA/QA4TB5TEQAKICAgICAgABQ= modes: 1920x1080 1280x1024 1280x1024 1152x864 1024x768 1024x768 800x600 800x600 640x480 640x480 720x400 DRM.card0-DP-2: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-1: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-2: enabled: disabled dpms: Off status: disconnected edid-base64: modes: DRM.card0-eDP-1: enabled: enabled dpms: On status: connected edid-base64: AP///////wBNEHYUAAAAADEaAQSlIxN4DmYap1Q0vCULS1cAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBTdAAoPBwPoAwIDUAWsIQAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBZMlhORIBMUTE1NkQxAAAAAAACQQMoABIAAAsBCiAgAAY= modes: 3840x2160 Date: Thu Mar 8 16:08:08 2018 Desktop-Session: 'unity' '/etc/xdg/xdg-unity:/etc/xdg/xdg-unity:/etc/xdg:/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings' '/home/luis/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/:/usr/share/unity:/usr/share/unity:/home/luis/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop' DetectedPlugins: Env: 'None' 'None' InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-11-30 (97 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) Load-Avg-1min: 0.34 Load-Processes-Running-Percent: 0.1% MachineType: Dell Inc.
