[SOLVED] chrome/chromium displaying garbled text in tab/browsers bar

basically anywhere that isn't a webpage the text is garbled.
installed arch yesterday following the newbie guide and then immedietly installed xorg - i3 - chrome and it's broken
here's a screenshot, sorry about the terminal wasn't sure how to take it without having that take up half the screen

Hi Xarik1,
After some very brief google searching, it seems that bugs similar to this occur from time to time within chromium. As a workaround you might try installing a different version, as listed here. I'm assuming your issue won't be consistent across other browsers, if it is, that would indicate an issue beyond chromium itself, and would help in further problem solving.

Bookmarks and tab titles display garbled text or text from another bookmark until moused over

I just upgraded to Windows 8 and loaded Firefox 18 - I imported my bookmarks HTML file and the bookmarks on the left display either garbage or the wrong title until I mouse over them. They then display correctly unless I mouse over them again. My tabs display bookmark titles until I mouse over them.

Could you try version 18.0.1? Also, please provide us with screen shots? And, you can check if your add-ons are causing this as well.

[SOLVED] chrome / chromium high gpu usage leads to overheating laptop

My laptop overheated a few times recently due to high gpu temperature. Tried different drivers (nouveau and nvidia) and kernel and that didn't help. So, today when it started heating up I went through the options in chrome:/flags in chromium to disable all gpu accelerated options I could find (hardware acceleration was already disabled). Then I noticed in the task manager that the gpu process was still there (also it was still getting hot). So, I went through all the switches for chromium and started it like this:
chromium --diable-gpu --disable-accelerated-2d-canvas --disable-accelerated-jpeg-decoding --disable-accelerated-video-decode --disable-gpu-compositing --disable-gpu-program-cache --disable-gpu-rasterization --disable-gpu-shader-disk-cache --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-one-copy --disable-threaded-compositing --disable-threaded-animation
and now the cpu heats up a little but that is throttled through thermald so no big deal there. No gpu process anymore in the built in task manager for chromium.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any different ideas? Is there a way to throttle gpu based on temperature for nvidia cards? I have some new thermal paste coming and got some compressed air to clean out my machine and then reapply the paste (probably needed to be done anyways). Just curious if anyone else had any alternate thoughts or if maybe it was just a couple things I could disable in chromium instead of everything. I noticed it heats up a lot when viewing long pages with lots of images especially.
Edit: The card is a Nvidia GTX560M. I just tried nouveau and messing around with some variables for temperature threshold in /sys/ but it didn't seem to help (I don't think my gpu fan is that compatible anyways).
Update: The only option needed to get rid of GPU Process tab is "--disable-gpu-compositing"

I do not entirely understand your post. I have looked into throttling gpu. I think in order to underclock and manipulate these settings coolbits needs to be set to 8 is what I am reading. Will post back when I find out more.
Edit: Enabled coolbits and tried changing clock speed but when I hit enter screen just blacked out. Guess I'll just leave gpu off for chromium.
Edit: Cleaned out computer and replaced thermal paste and no more heat issues.

[SOLVED] Garbled text artifacts on display 0.1 zaphod multihead intel

I have recently installed Arch on a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch [11,1]
Because this laptop has such a high pixel density on the laptop screen, I am using a zaphod multihead set up to
give me seperate openbox instances on the laptop and the external monitor, this way I can set the dpi of each screen individually.
Whichever screen I configure to be display 0.1, is displaying garbled text artifacts. Usually the text displays correctly at first, but becomes increasingly corrupted as more text is displayed.
I think the artifacts may be confined to Gtk applications.
When I run a single desktop, either just on the laptop, or across both screens, this does not seem to occur.
Thinking this might be related to issues other people found with a the xf86-video-intel driver which I am using, I implemented the workaround others have used,
which is to add this to xorg.conf
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "DebugFlushBatches" "on"
Option "DebugFlushCaches" "on"
Option "DebugWait" "on"
but it doesn't seem to have worked.

Garbled text when showing all opened tabs

starting today when using mozilla nightly android 34.0a1 (2014-08-16)
seeing garbled text when viewing all opened tabs
strangely when I slide my finger up / down there appears to be
two separate text layers overlaying each other both getting rendered

until today this was fine however I did see this some weeks ago which was fine until again today

I can't reproduce this on a Nexus 5 and today's nightly build.

[Solved] Having issues loading chrome/chromium/firefox

Hello all
I am new to arch, just installed last week. I installed KDE and have been using konqueror, but wish to use a chrome/firefox derivative. I've installed chrome, chromium. and firefox, but none will start up. When I start the application via the gui it shows up in the task bar, however it does not load, and exits after about 20 seconds.
I apologize for being a noob, I searched this problem on the wiki, google, and forums, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!

Not doing -Syu leaves you with a broken system.
Using --force on a general -Syu also leaves you with a broken system.
'The mtab conflict' and other such issues are almost always discussed here on the forums, simply running your whole -Syu with --force isn't the best way of dealing with them.

Google Chrome messed up UI text

So, after installing Google Chrome from the AUR, I noticed first thing that the UI text was obfuscated. this includes both the text in tab labels, the location bar, and other UI elements, but not the text of web pages.
Here's a scrot: http://i.imgur.com/05eMBXA.png
I don't really have any starting points on this, so I appreciate any help I could get.

Don't need to create test case, someone else has already reported it on Chrome bug list.
If this is a problem to you (and I think it will be if you have an applet with menus that is used on Chrome) perhaps you could follow this link,
and star the item. (I note that this also stops drop lists from working.)
To star the item, from the page, click 'back to list', find item 937, and click on the favourite star.

Garbled text after inserting a converted MS Word Doc into PDF

I am on a PC running XP professional using Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro v.8.
I successfully converted a variety of MS Office (Word, Excel,PowerPoint) documents into Acrobat Pro v8 PDF files. I then took all of these individually converted PDF files and merged into one large PDF file.
As stated, I verified that the documents converted successfully to individual PDF files, but when merging the files into one PDF file, some of the headers and/or text in the body contains garbled/scrambled text.
This is a massive project and I am pushing 300 pages. Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem. I have tried converting them through Word and Acrobat Pro with no luck.
Thank you,
Chad

After much tinkering around, I have finally solved the issue of the garbled text upon insertion of a converted file into a PDF file:
1. In Word, click on the Adobe PDF tab
2. click "change conversion settings"
3. click on Settings tab (may be default tab)
4. put a check in the box that says "PDF/A-1a; 2005 compliant file"
5. click ok
6. convert to PDF file
7. inserted converted PDF file into another PDF
I confirmed that my file now converts properly and there is no garbled text!
I do not know what "PDF/A-1a; 2005 compliant file" is, but it worked!

Garbled text in Safari after installing Lion

After installing Lion, Safari now displays many pages with what appears to be missing font, garbled text. Many sites I've visted in the past (including my bank) just have "AAAAAAAA" wherever there's supposed to be text.
My first thought is either missing font or font clash. I never had this under Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

Abiola O wrote:

There are two problems that leads to this.
Mismatching permissions
Corrupted cache entry's
First you should try to clear the safari cache.
To do so, click on the Safari menu bar at Safari and choose there empty cache.
If that does not solve the garbled fonts, perform a permission repair on your system disk, using the Disk Utility.
Before doing that, close ALL running applications.
Ignore upcoming messages like "could not repair on file XY" while performing permission repair, cause this will happen as you perform the task on a running system and opened files can not get changed.
If the problem persits, report back here.
I recommend to perform anyway a permission repair after every major update, cause during the update process, very often file permissions get crumbled. This will also solve some other issues after system upgrades.

Safari not displaying certain texts on YouTube pages properly

Hi, I've been having this weird problem with Safari for almost two months now even before the 5.1.4 update. I even went to Apple Genius with my macbook pro and they said the problem is minor and should be fixed with the new update (5.1.4), but the problem still persists!
Basically, whenever I go on YouTube for EVERY/any video and click on the "more info" button to look at the information spread on videos, all the remaining texts and links are "invisible." I have to literally highlight everything in the information spread in order to permanently display the texts, links, etc after enlarging the information tab. I've tried updating everything (Safari--both 5.1.3 and 5.1.4, OSX, repairing disk permissions, all settings are on in Safari, etc) to NO AVAIL! It's so frustrating and annoying. I'm not that tech savvy, so I don't quite understand what kind of problem this applies to whether CSS, JAVA, Flash, or whatever else. A genius bar representative said it's not Flash (which I also updated and reinstalled a few times), since I can load and watch videos perfectly fine. He was able to reproduce the problem on one of the macbook airs at the store and that's when he said the problem should be fixed with the newest update. Obviously not. Please help me resolve this issue or at least, understand it. It's really frustrating. Chrome and other browsers work perfectly fine with YouTube on my MacBook as well.
Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:
http://i39.tinypic.com/1zmh26o.png
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
Yes, he was able to reproduce it on a macbook air, but he never told me how or anything else. Just that it was a "minor" problem with codes and should be fixed with the newest update.
Also, I went to the Safari menu and the Style sheets set to none has always been set. I reset Safari as you said, and when I opened it again, it was really slow at loading any of my Top Sites (clicked on YouTube). Missing info spread (invisible) still persists...
I opened a guest account and the problem also occurs with Safari there, so I know this is a system wide glitch. I'm so close to erasing and reinstalling the OSX system out of frustration. (I have all my important files backed up so I dont actually mind doing this).

My macbook air (version 10.9.4) display flickers, has random tabs and windows opening, and there are random ads almost everywhere. All this happens when I am using safari. What can I do?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Since 10.5.6 upgrade, email messages are garbled text

Hi,
This problem seems to have started with the latest upgrade. My email messages are coming in with garbled text. This happens in my Yahoo account where I will go to the mail website and the text there will be fine. It's only in the mail program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hi,
I have the same issue.
Although the mails seems to have been downloaded correctly parts of the parts of the message mime information is displayed as part of the mail body.
The only thing that helps is to rebuild the index of the specific mailbox (inbox in my case).
BTW: Mail of iPhone OS does NOT have this problem. Generally it handles mails MUCH better than the real OS X. Strange, isn't it.

Printing to windows printer via SMB - Printing garbled text

Hi all.
I have been working on this issue for around 3 hrs this morning and finally figured it out. Thought I'd post what I did to help others with similar issues.
Here's my set up:
I have a PC with HP photosmart printer connected to it. I've a Macbook Pro that I connect to the PC via SMB protocol for file sharing. If I wanted to print from the mac to the printer I had to disconnect the printer form the PC and directly connect it to the mac. I wanted to be able to print from the Mac to the printer via the PC. Should be that hard right as I have already successfully file shared via SMB.
Well it was a little difficult. I did many a search on here and the web and eventually found the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
So, following these steps i tried to print a single page word (office 2008 for mac) doc from the mac. Hey presto! The printer kicked into life and started...
...problem was it spewed out around 20 pages of Garbled text! I tought it might have been print jobs stacked up from the last unsuccessful attemt at doing this but no, no jobs there. Thought it might have been Word/office for mac, etc. so tried to print from Text Edit but same thing.
After hrs of screaming, F'ing & Blinding I finally figured out it was to do with what printer I had it set up on. I went into Print & Fax in System Preferences, highlighted the printer and clicked printer setup tab. In the drop down tab I selected printer model. It was set on Generic.
In the drop down list there it shows a huge selection of printers. my particular model was not there so I chose the closest thing and selected that.
After exiting all that and trying again it worked.
I'm very happy.

Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

Adobe Acrobat 9/Win7 - Inserting Word documents into PDF file intermittently leads to missing or garbled text?

Heya.
I have a user who is creating a PDF essentially compiled from inserting word documents into the position she wants inside of the PDF.
The problem is that sometimes this leads to missing or garbled text. For example, 6-8.1 is displayed as 6- .1. Which is just plain weird.
Other times, the text looks garbled or uneven. She turned off her PC but I took screenshots of both of these scenarios. I fear that I am not going to be able to retroactively fix the corruption in this document for her.
She says she's using very standard fonts. Like Arial. I asked if she could locate the original Word document that produced the garbled text, just for a sanity check. The problem is that her co-worker may have been the only one with that particular word document (there are probably hundreds which compile this PDF...) and IF she has it, she might not be able to locate it on her PC TO check what the original text is. Yikes.
Google-fu turns up very little. I tried the guidance in this document - https://answers.acrobatusers.com/We-combine-PDF-document-ends-corrupt-What-problem-q197619 .aspx[2] and a Save-As but no avail.
This also turns up but is not applicable to Acrobat 9 I believe: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobatineducation/2010/02/get_rid_of_that_bloat_in_your.html[3]
She states that she can manually fix the document but after a while it gets corrupted again? But I haven't observed that and she might have just fed me that to amplify the problem.
I will be able to post screenshots when she turns on her computer tomorrow.

Here are the two instances of corruption we have come across.
http://imgur.com/nPztMYm
http://imgur.com/wHM12e2
Edit: A LITTLE MORE INFO. I am able to select the corrupted text, paste it into Notepad with all the characters intact. So the characters are THERE. they are just not being displayed correctly.
Edit: They also do not print correctly. The page prints with characters missing, and she wants to print this document, so that is going to be an issue.
