GNOME 3.10 update caused GUI artifacts

Ever since the Gnome 3.10 update I've been getting weird artifacts in the windows bar when accessing certain settings/apps. Such as going into network manager settings and opening up Evolution mail client. There are these random black bars and artifacts.

Hi,
I reinstalled gnome3, gtk3, radeon and libtxc_dxtn and the worst issues are gone. May be you can try:
pacman -S gnome
pacman -S gtk3
pacman -S libtxc_dxtn
Thank you! Your solution improved the problem a bit. There is still minor artifacts, however it is much more bearable now! Lets hope Gnome fixes this bug soon.

  • Gnome-power-manager update causes backlight to power off frequently

    After the upgrade to gnome-power-manager 2.26.1-1 today, my laptop screen backlight is being powered off constantly, after only about 1 minute. It's not the screen blanking, but the backlight going off. It comes right back up if I do anything on the keyboard.
    My power management preferences haven't changed though. They're all set (as before the upgrade) to never dim the display and never put the display to sleep. So why is the backlight going off anyway?
    Also, this pretty distinctly seems to have to do with Gnome and not X. If I leave the laptop for an extended period at the GDM login screen, the backlight is never powered off. The problem only develops after I have logged into Gnome.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks, I looked for bugs on this, but didn't find that one on the backlight for some reason. I was about to issue my own bug report. Anyway, so I added my comments to the bug report, but it has been marked "fixed" already (because it was really addressing a slightly different issue with DPMS), so I don't know if I need to start a new bug report or not. I'll wait and see what kind of reply I get. (In fact, it seems like the fix to the problem in the backlight bug report may have caused the problem addressed in this thread.)
    That said, I found a work around, if you want to completely disable the backlight ever going off. You can issue the command:
    xset -dpms
    This disables entirely the display power management system (which I'm guessing gnome-power-manager operates as a frontend for). Of course, if you want your screen to be put to sleep after some set point of time this won't work. But you may be able to configure this directly with other xset commands or in xorg.conf (see links below).
    To disable dpms at startup. I found oddly that it didn't work to add it to my .xinitrc. So instead I went to System > Preferences > Startup Applications. Added an a program in the "Startup Programs" tab, named it "DPMS (disable)" and for the command put:
    xset -dpms
    This is working.
    You can also configue DPMS in xorg.conf, but I'm not using xorg.conf so I didn't fiddle with it. See: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPMS and http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html.
    Hope that helps.

  • Photoshop CS6 selection, shape, and text is causing colored artifacts on screen

    The Photoshop CS6 (13.0.4) selection, text, and shape tool causes colored artifacts on screen. I'm running on a retina Macbook Pro updated to the latest ML release. I have disabled GPU acceleration. I have also tried starting Photoshop with no plugins but this does not help.
    I have created a video which shows the phenomena
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG5ayC3WmKA

    SOLVED. After two days of intense debugging I've identified the issue as an interaction between the ICC color profile, integrated GPU, and Photoshop. The ICC profile was created with an i1Display Pro using the i1Profiler software. The issue occurs when you create the color profile using the LUT setting. Creating a profile using the matrix setting seems to be ok. In summary, these are the specific conditions that cause the issue (for me):
    1) Using a color profile created with the LUT setting with i1Profiler and i1Display Pro
    2) Using the integrated GPU (discrete GPU is disabled in Photoshop Performance setting)
    3) Running on Photoshop 13.0.4 (13.0+ all have the issue) on a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display
    Creating a new profile with the matrix setting OR enabling the discrete Nvidia GPU will also make the artifacts go away. The integrated GPU using the LUT based color profile does not seem to have any artifacts in any other photography and video editing software that I've tried so Photoshop is playing a role. The nature of the artifacts also change from Photoshop version 13.0 to 13.0.4. For example, in Photoshop 13.0 the Marquee Tool has no issues while 13.0.1+ has artifacts.

  • 10.7.4 update causes system lockup

    Hello, I have Mac Pro (2006) with ATI Radeon 5770 (Apple Genuine) and 10.7.4 update causes system lockup.
    I installed 10.7.4 update via software update and the update works fine.
    But, after a couple of minutes, there are artfacts on display and the system locks up except for a mouse cursor or the display goes blank.
    Obiously, ATI 5770 is overheating but on Windows 7, I run FurMark for an hour to see if 5770 is broken or not and no problem found.
    So I reinstalled 10.7.4 (combo), reset PRAM & SMC. I found out about SMC error https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3940135?tstart=0 and replaceed AppleSMC.kext from 10.7.3 by using KextHelper but no luck.
    I did clean install of 10.7.4 and everything seemed okay but the system locked up during the Setup Assistant.
    I restroed the entire system (10.7.3) from Time Machine and am out of ideas. Does anybody have a simular problem?
    btw, MP is upgraded to 2 quad core x5355 and to the firmware MP2.1 (2007)

    Update.
    I ran Quartz Debug and disabled Quartz Extreme to see what'll happen.
    No more system lock-up nor artifacts!
    I reported to Apple and hope they're gonna fiz it soon.

  • OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

    OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
    I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
    Crikey!

    Libby,
    Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
    I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=752&start=0
    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

  • Recent windows 7 updates caused serious conflicts??

    I have two NI PCIe-1433 boards and the NI Max v5.4 installed. Recent win 7 (64 bit) automatic updates, within the last 10 days seemed to cause serious problems. Win 7 couldn't boot any more. Sometimes computer turns on and off by itself before the windows logo shows up. Sometimes it crashes before I can login.
    I did a fresh reinstallation of win 7. The same problem happened after some automatic updates. I can boot and use windows 7 if I unplug both NI cards. This makes me think the problem is in NI driver/card. I'm reporting it here to see if anybody experiences similar things.
    Earlier this year Win 7 automatic updates caused a problem with my Canon printer/scanner. Canon supplied scan software still does not work today.

    Hi Jeremy
    Thank you for responding. I do not know which update. I know it's due to some update(s) that happened recently.
    After I reinstalled the fresh Windows 7 (64 bit), I installed NI IMAQ software. I was able to use both boards to acquire images at that point. However Windows 7 kept updating itself. Later the same problem happened again.
    After unplugging both boards, I have been using the computer for 2 days without a problem. My computer's power supply is 650W. Does the boards require a lot of power?

  • Updating a GUI component from a runnable class that doesn't know that GUI

    Hi. I have a problem that I think isn't solvable in an elegant way, but I'd like to get confirmation before I do it the dirty way.
    My application allows the user to save (and load) his work in sessions files. I implemented this by a serializable class "Session" that basically stores all the information that the user created or the settings he made in its member variables.
    Now, I obviously want the session files created by this to be as small as possible and therefore I made sure that no GUI components are stored in this class.
    When the user has made all his settings, he can basically "run" his project, which may last for a long time (minutes, hours or days, depending on what the user wants to do....). Therefore I need to update the GUI with information on the progress/outcome of the running project. This is not just a matter of updating one single GUI component, but of a dynamic number of different internal frames and panels. So I'd need a reference to a GUI component that knows all these subcomponents to run a method that does the update work.
    How do I do that? I cannot pass the reference to that component through the method's argument that "runs" the project, because that needs to be a seperate thread, meaning that the method is just the run() method of that thread which has no arguments (which I cannot modify if I'm not mistaken).
    So the only thing I can think of is passing the reference through the constructor of the runnable class (which in turn must be stored in the session because it contains critical information on the user's work). As a result, all components that need to be incorporated in that updating process would be part of the session and go into the exported file, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
    I hope this description makes sense...
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the quick answer! Though to be honest I am not sure how it relates to my question. Which is probably my fault rather than yours :-)
    But sometimes all it takes me to solve my problem is posting it to a forum and reading it through again :)
    Now I wrote a seperate class "Runner" that extends thread and has the gui components as members (passed through its constructor). I create and start() that object in the run method of the original runnable class (which isn't runnable anymore) so I can pass the gui component reference through that run method's argument.
    Not sure if this is elegant, but at least it allows me to avoid saving gui components to the session file :-)
    I am realizing that probably this post shouldn't have gone into the swing forum...

  • [SOLVED] Keyboard layout not setting correctly after gnome 3.14 update

    Hey all,
    After the gnome 3.14 update my keyboard appears to be reverting to US when I want to have it set to UK layout. It was fine before the update, and I have i3 & XFCE installed and for both of those my keyboard layout is getting set to UK just fine, so it appears to be just the gnome 3.14 update that is the problem.
    Here is my contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
    EndSection
    Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
    Last edited by Morgy (2014-10-18 17:18:09)

    My situation showed an extra issue related to this change.
    After the upgrade I started getting two layouts (us,us) instead of just one (us).
    $ setxkbmap -query
    rules: evdev
    model: pc104
    layout: us,us
    variant: ,
    options: ctrl:nocaps
    That broke my variant setting, which was altgr-intl (set via /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf). I was able to manually set that to "altgr-intl,altgr-intl" (with setxkbmap), and that worked.
    After adding an input source as described above, of "English (international AltGr dead keys)", everything started working again for my purposes, without manually running setxkbmap, but I still have the extra layout:
    $ setxkbmap -query
    rules: evdev
    model: pc104
    layout: us,us
    variant: altgr-intl,
    options: ctrl:nocaps
    Does anyone know a current method for completely disabling GNOME's keyboard management?
    (I've tried several things from Google, but nothing seems to work for the current version).

  • ITunes 11.4 update cause issue with AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext

    Along with many others iMac users, the iTunes 11.4 update cause a window that informs that the system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used.

    Am on Snow Leopard and downloaded and installed the update to ITUNES yesterday - Itunes itself installed okay - but I did get the same system extension cannot be used.
    I don't have any ethernet devices - so I checked the System/Library folder and the date on the file Is July 13, 2009. 
    My IPOD (probably now classic because of age) synced okay through USB port, and everything is working fine.    As the update was to allow more devices to sync with ITUNES it may be the error message is not correct one.
    Seriously - Apple needs to get out of Silicon valley - the message if correct is for techies - not for users who just want the software to update without problems.    Lately Apple is preaching to their own choir.
    I did send feedback through Itunes to Apple - -- If you are experiencing crashes after this update make sure you send the crash report to apple explaining that it is happening after this install  -- also call or schedule a call with apple support --

  • Updating the GUI from a background Thread: Platform.Runlater() Vs Tasks

    Hi Everyone,
    Hereby I would like to ask if anyone can enlighten me on the best practice for concurency with JAVAFX2. More precisely, if one has to update a Gui from a background Thread what should be the appropriate approach.
    I further explain my though:
    I have window with a text box in it and i receive some message on my network on the background, hence i want to update the scrolling textbox of my window with the incoming message. In that scenario what is the best appraoch.
    1- Shall i implement my my message receiver as thread in which i would then use a platform.RunLater() ?
    2- Or shall i use a Task ? In that case, which public property of the task shall take the message that i receive ? Are property of the task only those already defined, or any public property defined in subclass can be used to be binded in the graphical thread ?
    In general i would like to understand, what is the logic behind each method ?
    My understanding here, is that task property are only meant to update the gui with respect to the status of the task. However updating the Gui about information of change that have occured on the data model, requires Platform.RunLater to be used.
    Edited by: 987669 on Feb 12, 2013 12:12 PM

    Shall i implement my my message receiver as thread in which i would then use a platform.RunLater() ?Yes.
    Or shall i use a Task ?No.
    what is the logic behind each method?A general rule of thumb:
    a) If the operation is initiated by the client (e.g. fetch data from a server), use a Task for a one-off process (or a Service for a repeated process):
    - the extra facilities of a Task such as easier implementation of thread safety, work done and message properties, etc. are usually needed in this case.
    b) If the operation is initiated by the server (e.g. push data to the client), use Platform.runLater:
    - spin up a standard thread to listen for data (your network communication library will probably do this anyway) and to communicate results back to your UI.
    - likely you don't need the additional overhead and facilities of a Task in this case.
    Tasks and Platform.runLater are not mutually exclusive. For example if you want to update your GUI based on a partial result from an in-process task, then you can create the task and in the Task's call method, use a Platform.runLater to update the GUI as the task is executing. That's kind of a more advanced use-case and is documented in the Task documentation as "A Task Which Returns Partial Results" http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/concurrent/Task.html

  • CS3 Updates cause programs to not work with Windows 7?

    Has anyone else had their programs stop working after an Adobe update was installed?  Although I have been told by 5 different Adobe staff members that CS3 is "not at all compatible" with Windows 7...it somehow worked on two machines for 6 months.  Then a recent Adobe update caused it to not work.  I could understand if it never worked with Windows 7, but it stopped working after Adobe's update.  I am sure that Adobe has the resources to test their updates on Windows 7 machines and would have found this problem.  What would make them proceed with giving their customers this update...hmmm maybe the release of CS5???
    I also asked if they could send me a CD (since I chose a download) of the original CS3 suite without the updates and they told me that they don't have any.  Really??? Adobe doesn't have any copies of a program that is only 3 years old?

    Try this page to download a copy of the original...

  • 10.8.5 Supplemental Update causing external drive error?

    I'm seeing a lot of discussion about 10.8.5 having a bug that caused some external drives to eject improperly. I have never had this issue, but just did the software update -- which *I believe* was the 10.8.5 Supplemental Update, because I remember it saying this:
    "Fixes an issue that may cause external drives to be ejected after the computer goes to sleep"
    ... and now I AM getting that error message sometimes after my computer is woken from sleep! So, for me, the Supplemental Update caused the problem that others had been having, but that I'd never had, with the previous update!
    I'm assuming I'm fully up to date with my software updates because, when I check, there are no updates to be found.
    It's frustrating because I never had this issue, and the update that was supposed to fix it for everyone else, cause it to start happening to me.
    Any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated!

    Try running the combo update.
