I suspect this issue might be related to the re-write the application received in 7.8 (as mentioned in the Release announcement).

Also, here is a screenshot of what the taskbar now looks like when Lite Updates is open, in case that helps.

I recently switched to duel booting Linux Lite on my gaming laptop for the reason that windows 10 caused it to lag every four seconds.

now for the most part, the switch went great, aside from one issue.

my laptop has the radeon R3 integrated graphics chip (also known as Mullins r3 graphics and AMD stoney), its not an great chip, but its my only real option.

the linux Mesa graphics drivers do not seem to have any sort of up-to-date drivers in them for my card.

16-bit style games and games with simple png graphics work well with Lite, but so far three of my games (Dead By Daylight, Bendy Lone Wolf, Team Fortress 2), have such bad rendering and are so slow on Lite that their unplayable, well they didnt have this problem on Window 10.

I suspect that this is because of the Mesa drivers not having programming for them.

for context, I originally used the latest offical drivers for my card, before switching to the windows Bootcamp community drivers when Dead By Daylight wouldnt work with the AMD drivers.

That is all that I can think to explain, thank you for reading.]]>

Sometimes the screen will break up into sortof a broken checkerboard pattern, squares maybe 10px wide. And as I move windows around they might flash or change forming diagonal patterns. I have screenshots and hardinfo but can't manage to attach them to this note.

I can't make it happen at will, with a finite number of steps. But scrolling a document, moving a window, watching video -- things involving the mouse and video activity does increase the probability.

Does not seem to matter what application I'm using.

If I logout and log back in it's fine for a while until it breaks again.

If it breaks and I switch users it's fine until I switch back again, so the problem seems limited to user space.

This system is dual boot with windows, running it for years no problem. With Linux Lite it seems a bit fragile.

Thanks in advance to any and all who might venture to assist,

This is a software issue. Not hardware.

After installing LL 6.2 I am unable to use the "settings"  - "Install driver" application to install the proprietary drivers for my system.
In LL 5.8 this worked.

Running "install drivers" would list both the "Nouveau" open source nvidia driver, and the proprietary nvidia driver version 340.108.

However In LL 6.2 I get the result  "No proprietary drivers found."

The Install 6.2 uses the Nouveau drivers by default.

Unfortunately along with poor performance in some tasks, I have found the Nouveau drivers are not very stable and cause video corruption in some simple applications like the system monitor.

The last button wanted me to upgrade to 5.8. Okay fine. After rebooting screen is locked at 640x480. The GUI for drivers has the "manually installed" radio button forced on and will allow no changes.
Had to fight my way to getting a terminal open.

Code:
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
shows Nvidia driver still running but resolution is wrong and there are no nvidia applications installed to fix resolution. The Display GUI tool is also locked at 640x480 showing no other options.
Code:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
After reboot seems to have fixed it.
If the upgrade had removed whatever forces that "manual" radio button to be checked I could have fixed this from the GUI. None of your stuff is 640x480 friendly though.

It seems if one of these isn't popping up, the other one is. I timed them down to 5 seconds before another one pops up.

I found I can stop the bigger one from popping up by hooking an hdmi cable to the hdmi port, and opening the terminal and pasting:
xrandr --auto && xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --off

The smaller one... I can stop it if I leave the hdmi cable plugged in, and leave it in the middle of the monitor screen. I can't minimize it, or else it will start popping up every 5 seconds again. When I open the terminal and type:

xrandr --current

I can't remember if this means the hdmi cable is plugged in or not. I'm getting confused.

I guess one solution would be to change the OS to something else, but this one seems to be the fastest one I've seen on this old laptop. I think I would like to keep it, if I can

I'm new to this forum. Don't know what info you need to help me address this problem, but the 5 second popups on the laptop with Linux-lite 5.8 can be quite distracting.

Here is a picture of the problem: https://i.imgur.com/o5GjWhL.jpg

It seems if one of these isn't popping up, the other one is. I timed them down to 5 seconds before another one pops up.

I found I can stop the bigger one from popping up by hooking an hdmi cable to the hdmi port, and opening the terminal and pasting:
xrandr --auto && xrandr --output HDMI-1-0 --off

The smaller one... I can stop it if I leave the hdmi cable plugged in, and leave it in the middle of the monitor screen. I can't minimize it, or else it will start popping up every 5 seconds again. When I open the terminal and type:

xrandr --current

I get
