[15:55] <thelinuxbox> hi, does anyone know if ubuntu/xubuntu 18.04 will have a fix for screen tearing?
[15:55] <thelinuxbox> i'm currently on 16.04 and the screen tearing can get really bad at times
[15:55] <knome> there are many reasons for screen tearing and many existing workarounds to fix it in many situtations
[15:56] <knome> generally, no, not all screen tearing can be fixed for everyone with the same "fixes"
[15:56] <knome> otoh you might be able to fix the tearing for yourself even with 16.04
[15:57] <thelinuxbox> what would you recommend please?
[15:57] <knome> what graphics card do you have?
[15:58] <thelinuxbox> afaik it's intel
[15:59] <thelinuxbox> lshw says "intel corporation"
[15:59] <knome> try googling "intel ubuntu screen tearing"
[15:59] <knome> (i'm on my phone atm so no quick googling, but there are loads of tutorials around)
[15:59] <thelinuxbox> ok thanks!, ill give it a try
[17:14] <thelinuxbox> hi, i followed this guide https://askubuntu.com/a/469653 to try to fix my screen tearing issue, it fixed the tearing but caused a new issue, different open windows kept going black, so did the taskbar, menus were flashing terribly :(
[17:14] <thelinuxbox> is their any other solution please?
[17:16] <thelinuxbox> i was forced to delete the conf file and restart just to have a normal enviroment again, so i'm back with the screen tearing issue but no issue with the black open windows or the taskbar going wild
[17:20] <thelinuxbox> screen tearing is making me want to throw up :(

[21:28] <pjotter> Hi everyone. The listening report of gufw seems to be stuck. It won't show current connections anymore and instead keeps displaying a static list of connections. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
