> Does using a Wayland session avoid the bug? Yes, I see no tearing in Totem (or Chrome) when using Wayland. (Note: after uninstalling the Nvidia drivers (`apt purge nvidia-driver-410 && apt autoremove --purge`), I have to boot with `nouveau.modeset=0`, otherwise boot hangs at Plymouth after entering my disk encryption password.)
In Wayland, xrandr prints the following: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 340mm x 190mm 1920x1080 59.96*+ > Also, what shell are you using? If you mean shell-as-in-graphical, and I understand correctly what that means, then I'm using i3wm. If you mean shell-as-in-CLI, then bash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811808 Title: Tearing and/or flickering when using Intel graphics Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When using Intel graphics on my hybrid Nvidia laptop, videos in Totem have awful tearing/flickering which makes them essentially unwatchable. With default X settings, I get tearing across the top of the screen (but I also get very noticeable tearing in other applications); if I enable TearFree (which eliminates tearing in Chrome), the tearing turns into jagged black flickers which extend from the top of the screen right down to near the bottom of the screen on some frames. The flickers are visible in screenshots, so I have attached one.
