Chrome display issues

Can anyone cure this display issue in google chrome.
Twas ok this morning, then there was an update and now this.
Running PM3 if it’s of any consequence.

See attachment
As always, any help gratefully appreciated

Which version of Chrome is that ?

forgot that sorry.
35.0.1916.114

Try this.

In Chrome, go to:
chrome://settings

Scroll to the bottom and click “Advanced Settings”

Make sure

Use hardware acceleration when available

is ticked

close ALL instances of Chrome

Now open a terminal and run Chrome with:

google-chrome --ignore-gpu-blacklist

If that fixes the colours … we’ll edit chromium to add that flag.

Didn’t fix it but did get plenty of errors in the terminal but can only post the tail end as the rest is off the top of the window and can’t scroll up to get it

Try taking the tick OUT of

Use hardware acceleration when available

then restart Chrome in the normal way … or was it already unticked ?

[EDIT]

Do you get those same errros if you start Chrome from the command line WITHOUT the extra flag:

google-chrome

?

The tick was in place.
With the tick in place and without the flag I get this

ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

And unticking the box made no difference

You could always uninstall google-chrome-stable … and either try either google-chrome-beta or google-chrome-unstable

Those are Chrome 36 and Chrome 37 respectively

or you could just reinstall one of the Chrome 34 (or earlier) series from here:
http://mirror.pcbeta.com/google/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/

32bit:
http://mirror.pcbeta.com/google/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_34.0.1847.137-1_i386.deb

64bit:
http://mirror.pcbeta.com/google/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_34.0.1847.137-1_amd64.deb

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you Mark.
Uninstalled 35 and installed 34.0.1847.137-1 and all is good with the world(wide web) again.

Thanx

Chrome 35 uses the new “aura” graphics stack … an “in-house” graphics stack from Google … there are obviously some bugs still to be ironed out :o

If you’d like to try fixing Chrome 35 let us know what graphics adapter / driver you’re using … post the output from:

sudo lshw -C display
