Websites glitch out after updating

Not entirely sure how to describe this error, but after updating my Kernel alot of website glitch out, when interacting with specific elements, e.g. if I open an image on discord its basically guaranteed to glitch out, and it will flash and go invisible/visible alot.

Im not really sure what the root cause is, whether its a graphics driver issue, or a kernel issue, and I appreciate its not really much for you guys to work off, but any help would be appreciated

Hi @JDChris100,

Have you tried with a different kernel again?

The info you show isn’t for the latest released kernel version or nvidia driver that’s available in the stable branch.

Kernel should be 6.6.52-1, nvidia should be 550.120-2

So it happened after switching from 6.9.12-3-MANJARO I tried using 6.10.11-2 and 6.11.0-6 but both of those just gave me a black screen and didnt boot correctly

I also tried it with 6.1.111-1 and it had the same errors. So its possible the kernel change was unrelated?

Quite likely. But as to what,

:man_shrugging:

Apart of telling you to make sure all your .pacnew files are handled,

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Pacnew_and_Pacsave#.pacnew

I have absolutely no idea how to proceed.

Sorry!

@JDChris100, so you have website glitches, fine. Why don’t you share with us what browser you are using?

Please start your browser without addons/extensions enabled.

If these glitches you describe seem to magically go away, then enable each extension – one at a time (testing each time) – until you find the extension that causes these glitches…

Then remove that extension, and either:

  • See if removing it, closing/reopening the browser and reinstalling the extension makes any difference; or…
  • Never install the extension again.

Cheers.

Default Firefox, but it also happens on the Discord app, which I believe is chromium

And what are the results of:

Sorry, thought I replied to this, this doesnt fix it either.

Honestly, im also getting alot of random other issues, and alot of stuff seems to be broken, so i might try a factory reset and see if that fixes it
