Google Chrome Not Displaying Websites Correctly

do flag

This issue has made google chrome completely unusable. However, FireFox works just fine. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Screenshot of Ubuntu stack exchange with corrupted page from Google Chrome

Interestingly, when I was taking the screen shot the bug was even effecting the display of the screenshot box. So, the issue effects the screen outside of just Chrome.

I think the problem could be with the graphics driver for my computer. Another issue I have is the computer won't go into Suspend when I close the lid and if it is in my backpack it will get warm. I have dug a lot into that issue and it seems like the graphics driver could be the culprit as well.

So, if anyone has insight on how to fix this issue it would be so greatly appreciated. I am completely lost on how to tackle it.

Specs:

  • Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
  • Computer Model: Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500u with radeon graphics x 12
  • Graphics: RENOIR (renoir, LLVM 15.0.7, DRM 3.47, 5.19.0-46-generic)

When doing sudo lshw -c video:

Have you tried switching "hardware acceleration" on or off? It's in Settings/System in Chrome.

Does the issue affect Chromium was well? A similar issue was fixed in [LP:2004532](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2004532) for Chromium.

Try to open browser in terminal with --disable-gpu flag. This bug is affecting chromium based browsers in Ubuntu.

As Jos mentioned if you try to disable the hardware acceleration you should fix the issue, i've the same problem with Brave Browser in these days from the last update. I think it's a bug, hope they will fix it.

I have a "AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U with Radeon Graphics" laptop, and the same problems started with me for Chrome in recent weeks, turning off hardware acceleration required to get web pages to render. I even updated my Ubuntu 22.04.2 to kernel 6.4.3 but it didn't help.

Yes, this fixed my issue! Thank you Jos and Simone.

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.
