I only downgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common. I left mutter as it was. Something else strange that I noticed: if I disable hardware acceleration, then enable it again, chrome appears to work fine. So the behavior I'm seeing looks like: - Start at v42.0 of gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common - Upgrade to v42.9 of gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common - Note strange rendering in chrome - Logout/login - Note strange rendering in chrome persists - Reboot - Note strange rendering in chrome persists - Disable hardware acceleration in chrome - Note rendering in chrome is now fixed - Enable hardware acceleration in chrome - Note rendering in chrome still works -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026886 Title: google chrome hardware acceleration broken on 42.9-0ubuntu2 Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This morning, I upgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common from 42.5-0ubuntu1 to 42.9-0ubuntu2, and I noticed that chrome no longer renders properly. Notice the missing image header on the Ubuntu website and the garbled right click menu here: https://i.imgur.com/BPnqfVG.png I downgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common version to 42.0-2ubuntu1, restarted gnome, and the rendering issues went away: https://i.imgur.com/CzEPgqY.png I upgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common again to the latest and the rendering issues came back. Going to chrome://settings/system and disabling hardware acceleration fixes the rendering issues (but now I don't have hardware acceleration). I'm running the latest stable version of chrome which was released a few weeks ago: 114.0.5735.198 --- $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Release: 22.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 42.9-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 42.9-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 42.9-0ubuntu2 500 (phased 40%) 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 42.0-2ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2026886/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
