I've had loads of problems since upgrading to 24.04. I originally upgraded my previous versions but then my PC started to get lots of snow crashes. So, I did a completely clean install on 24.04. There is still the no-thumbnail bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/2054183) - I tried switching on the "proposed" flag and looking for a new version off apparmor but there didn't seem to be one.

That's not my major issue at the moment though. I've now got a significant graphics problem - see below.

enter image description here

My graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce GT 710.

I've also gained printer issues and various other things. I love Ubuntu and have been using it for over a decade but 24.04 feels like it's been released with a lot of bugs.

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Try adding to /etc/environment the line:

GSK_RENDERER=gl

And then restart (or execute sudo systemctl restart gdm.service).

If that doesn't help, try adding one more line to the same file:

GDK_DEBUG=gl-prefer-gl

This has helped a lot of people to solve a lot of similar issues:

  1. Ubuntu 24.04 screen glitches on gnome apps after install
  2. 24.04 LTS Texts don't appear until hover
  3. Missing text in dialog windows
