Help with GUI issues

mr flag

Hello Ubuntu Community!

I run a VirtualBox VM with Ubuntu 22.04 on a Windows 10 host (with Intel Integrated Graphics). Yesterday I updated VirtualBox to the latest version (from 6.x to 7.0.6) and I started having GUI rendering issues.

I show two examples below:

  1. glxgears shows the usual gears moving, but the top bar looks weird, with no content enter image description here

  2. I use CERN ROOT framework for research purposes and all its GUIs are now broken (example below with a TBrowser) enter image description here

I haven't found any other problematic GUIs yet, but the ROOT issue is quite big for me.

I tried creating a new VM, reinstalling ROOT, and everything works fine there, thus I think something must have gone 'bad' in the first VM.

Do you have any suggestions on packages I should try re-installing or reconfiguring? I'd really like not to go through a new complete setup of my work machine...

I found that this was caused by VirtualBox' 3D acceleration option. Unticking the box solved all the issues.

As of now, I haven't found a way to re-enable it without reproducing these artifacts.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
