[SOLVED] Flickering unseable applications

Dontpanic_x · 2023-10-16 10:51:07

I never had google chrome on my arch install but I needed it to run a web app so I installed it from AUR.
Upon opening it, it started to flicker and was unusable. Might not be the issue by i had an issue with tp_smapi failing to load modules on boot, so I uninstalled that.

The flickering stopped but trying to type anything into google-chrome or opera address bar search is impossible. Fire-fox works fine. Also, some apps flicker up and down as well. I have no clue where to even start as all my google searches are windows related and nothing linux related.

Please let me know what information I need to post to investigate this as I am at a complete loss.

That's not the output of "sudo journalctl -b"…
Is this gnome on wayland or xorg? Does it matter?
Does chromium behave the same?

Hello Seth,
I did `$ sudo journalctl -b` I just posted the output of what was happening at the time I was trying to open and use chrome.

 $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

outputs: tty

I am using xfce4 DE

yes chromium behaves the same way

Well, I had to guess from the limited journal.
I'll take another guess: remove xf86-video-intel.

Otherwise post your xorg log and test the behavior w/o the compositor, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfwm#Composite_manager

Fantastic guess on removing the xf86-video-intel package! That worked. Thank you!

Any ideas as to why that package was messing things up? Just not working well with internal graphics card maybe?

It's being phased out and increasingly causing trouble w/ esp. newer IGPs.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
