Public bug reported: Updated Ubuntu to 18.04 (from 17.10) and this problem started. Videos, on VLC and on Youtube, Twitch etc. on Chrome get stuck on frames. The video seek time also gets stuck at that frame, and then suddenly the video skips ahead. Audio has no issues. I am assuming it's a problem with the video drivers.
I have dual graphics cards, one integrated and one dedicated(AMD Radeon HD 8670M). I guess my problem is similar to https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029205/video-playback-performance- issue-ubuntu-18-04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Tue May 1 19:40:21 2018 DistUpgraded: 2018-04-26 21:50:03,842 ERROR got error from PostInstallScript ./xorg_fix_proprietary.py (g-exec-error-quark: Failed to execute child process “./xorg_fix_proprietary.py” (No such file or directory) (8)) DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a16] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [1028:05ea] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-21 (830 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) MachineType: Dell Inc.
