After trying to get rid of screen tearing I reset my computer and found some weird boxes on my background in /etc/X11/xorg.conf I added Option      &quot;TearFree&quot;    &quot;true&quot;

I have recently upgraded Ubuntu 19.10 to latest LTS Ubuntu 20.04. After updating, I get serious artifacts on my screen. Every time I reboot (or log-in), my screen is fuzzy or scrambled (picture attached):     This is temporary. The fuzzy screen goes away when I change the background. But it reappears the moment I reboot or log back in.   I have Intel HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2).  The output of lspci -nn |grep -E 'VGA|Display' is:  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:1916] (rev 07)   Update:   On enabling Wayland in Ubuntu 20.04 and logging in to, these artifacts are however cured.   This is okay for now, but I am not sure about Wayland as I have not yet used it before.   Is there a way to correct the graphic issue with normal Ubuntu startup?

I noticed that there are many posts on Super User about , but none seems to address the question I have.  I am on Windows 7 and I find fonts very fuzzy. To be specific, some letters are more fuzzy than others, and it's not specific to the letters, it's more about positioning. If I move my Windows to a slightly different position, then different sets of letters are fuzzy.  I tried to do the ClearType tuning, but I can't find a selection that looks sharp. I tried to turn off ClearType altogether, but it gets worse. I turn off antialiasing in systemspropertiesperformance.exe and it doesn't help much.  My prior experience is with Windows XP. And fonts look fine there. I think I prefer having jagged edges over anti-aliasing. Trying to round the edges just makes my eye sore.  I'm using a 17 inch monitor, 1280x1024. My friends who are also on Windows 7 using laptops still have fuzzy fonts, but they are a lot better. I think it's because their resolution is much higher with respect to their screen sizes.  EDIT: Interestingly the problem might not be font settings after all. I screenshot the text, same thing also happens to the screenshot!! Even though some letter are still fuzzier than others. I should hook the monitor up to a computer with Windows XP to check again.  EDIT2: Same monitor on Windows XP looks fine. Comparing text screenshots made in Windows XP and Windows 7 on Windows XP I do find Windows 7 fonts fuzzier than one on Windows XP. However, even when viewing screenshot from Windows XP on Windows 7, it looks very fuzzy! And this is specific to Windows 7 since I'm using the same monitor.  EDIT3: Problem solved. Posted under Bobince's reply. Thank you all. :)

Is there a DE-independent utility to show all windows beside each other in more lightweight DEs like Openbox, LXDE or Xfce?  Something like this:

I am looking for an image viewer software without very large window borders. I don't need any type of toolbar, just a simple image viewer.   It would also be fine if there is no top bar to close, minimize or maximize window.

I was playing in Minecraft in full screen for a while (toggling using F11) and then after a while, I went back to windowed mode (I don't like playing in full screen, I was just testing the functionality of it for... reasons).  However, when I went to maximize the window (not full-screen) I realized the maximize box in the corner had become disabled. I fiddled with full screen a bit more, toggling it in the menu options as well as toggling it with F11, but this had no effect. Restarting Minecraft (closing it completely and re-opening, not just quitting to menu) did fix it however.  Does anyone know what causes this issue, and if restarting Minecraft is the only way to fix it?

These wonderful icon overlays that give you useful information in the Windows Explorer are not showing up.   It's the most annoying with Dropbox (I already read ). I just tried reinstalling Dropbox - no help. I have this problem also with the  so I don't think that it is a dropbox problem specifically; and something is wrong in my OS. The OS is actually a pretty fresh clean-install...  OS: Win8 Pro 64-bit.

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 into VirtualBox on Windows 7.    Unfortunately the only options showing for screen resolution are 640x480 and 800x600 and the monitor is showing as 'Unknown'.  How would I go about upping the resolution to 1280x1024 (I'm on a 1600x1200 monitor)?   Update I tried mounting the VirtualBox 'Guest Additions' ISO (from the VBox 'Devices' menu) and doing sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run  from the mounted drive, which gave 2 new listed resolutions after a reboot (1024x768 and the 16:9 version of that resolution). These worked when I selected them but disappeared when I switched back to another resolution. I tried rebooting and running VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run again but onlu the 2 low res options listed this time. I think I'm going to reinstall...    Seems to be a VBox problem rather than an Ubuntu problem as after reinstalling 10.4 overwriting the original virtual partition, sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run now has no affect at all.

Apparently the new top bar rollout had some negative effects on the top bar of the network site . It looks completely unstyled:     Since I see this on different browsers and machines, I assume it's a server-side issue.

I seem to have clicked on something that changed my display preferences. The main site is now very minimalistic, with fewer controls and different fonts.  I want to change it back, but where is it?

Can someone tell me how I can get an overview of all the open windows? Like htting ctrl+s that shows all the desktops, but for the open applications?  Right now when I hit Alt+Tab it shows quite small tiles in the middle of the screen, is it possible to have all the windows fill all the screens? (Kind of like expose in OSX)  I have compiz installed, and "static application switcher" selected, but this doesn't have the result I'm looking for (and neither does "Application switcher".  Any ideas?

My screen has 1280 x 1024 resolution. But unfortunately, rightmost belt of 200 pixels is damaged and unable do display any image.  How can I set that the Xorg will treat my screen as 1080 x 1024 device?  Now I have tried:  Virtual 1080 1024 Viewport 0 0   It doesn't work right - image is scaled to fit vertically, and horizontally I can pan with the mouse.

Apparently we have a new messagebox:  Can it please be screen-centered or near the action I took? It is on the top but I clicked to delete a comment on the bottom. The mouse movings give me muscle ache.

I use spaces with 10.9. I run a few applications in full screen mode. While focused on an application in full screen mode every minute or so I switched back to the first space. This happens with no input on my behalf.   I suspected it was an application in the background taking focus. I shut down all applications that do this and have also disabled space switching on application focus. After a reset the issue persists.   I noticed that the tool bar glitches out after the switch happens. It feels like a bug because when the application is not in full screen mode the icons on my desktop will disappear for a split second and then reappear. This seems to be happening with the same frequency as the space switching issue. Has anyone en-counted this? Is there a fix? It's driving me nuts!

I showed up here to write a perfectly normal rant about misaligned pixels, and there's a big fat checkbox cluttering up the "Ask" page:    WHAT THE EEEEK IS THIS NEW ABOMINATION?
