[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1870725] Re: artifacts appearing on gnome shell
Hey! I just upgraded to 20.04 from 19.10, and had the same issue (same GPU - Intel Graphics UHD 620). I had the same problem a few months ago using the OIBAF ppa, and I thought it was because of the Open Source driver (built twice a day from their git repo) and since removing the PPA fixed the issue. I stepped upon this bug report when searching for a reason to my screen artifacts (same problems, same symptoms and same image as the original post). I've read the last comment "Please don't use the 'intel' driver. It is old and unsupported." and remembered that I had screen tearing issues a few months ago and that I added a custom XORG config (following https://askubuntu.com/questions/1066722/intel-screen-tearing-ubuntu-18-04). I just emptied '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf', and rebooted, and it just worked fine from this! Please check if it could fix it for you too!

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1870725] Re: artifacts appearing on gnome shell
I believed I narrowed down the issue to how gnome-shell uses Xorg. As said before GDM did not have any issues, and (i may be seriously wrong here) GDM uses Wayland by default. When I launch the Ubuntu desktop with Wayland, the graphical issue went away and is running smoothly. So I narrowed down the issue to Xorg or gnome-shell. So I went ahead and installed Cinnamon DE which uses Xorg, and the issue did not arise. My theory is that gnome-shell has a problem with rendering the shell (not programs) with Xorg. I also attached another image showing the problem, could the issue be the compositor??? ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2020-04-04 13-11-46.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1870725/+attachment/5346554/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-04-04%2013-11-46.png ** No longer affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870725 Title: artifacts appearing on gnome shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1870725/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

No problem! When I change wallpapers the issue appears goes away but on reboot or switching back the issue persists. it appears to not affect other applications such as Firefox even when in full screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870725 Title: artifacts appearing on gnome shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1870725/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1870725] Re: artifacts appearing on gnome shell
Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. If you change wallpapers, does the issue still occur? Does it occur if you have windows fullscreen (eg. if firefox is your open window and maximized so it covers your wallpaper, do you see the artifacts?) or are they visible only on your wallpaper? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870725 Title: artifacts appearing on gnome shell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1870725/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
