3) What you expected to happen
Normal web browsing experience
4) What happened instead
Graphical elements are black. After upgrading to 18.10, firefox graphical
elements (window contents, context menus) are black. The only exception is a
small rectangle in the upper left corner.
Right-clicking within the window creates a context menu, which I am able
to verify by observing a new black rectangle of the correct width that
can be made to occlude the task bar by initiating it at a suitable
starting position.
If I launch firefox from a terminal then I get messages like the
following:
--------code
[GFX1-]: Failed to lock new back buffer.
[Parent 25238, Main Thread] WARNING: failed to open shm: Permission denied:
file
/build/firefox-MtV3KQ/firefox-63.0+build1/ipc/chromium/src/base/shared_memory_posix.cc,
line 129
--------/code
This occurs regardless of which desktop environment I use. Other browsers are
working fine.
I'm guessing the problem is related to the reported problem accessing
shm. However, for the sake of completeness, I am using an AMD gpu with
standard driver:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
