Ubuntu

getting a diangle line on firefox when i scroll down a page

Asked by Bob

I just had to reinstall 14'04 and never had this before and can't remember if it was a problem I had before and fixed.

I did this
disable hardware acceleration in the firefox menu ≡ > options > advanced > general (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
but did not help.

is there a setting in aboutconfig that will help with this or something else I can try?

also not related to this, but is there a page that lists comands "IE" (apt-get install) and things like that.
Would be nice to have one page telling me them, so I don't have to always search.
thank you.

Its impossible to list all commands, there is a near infinite combination of options and so forth.

Each command has a man page, you can read this using:

man command

eg:

man apt-get

This will show you the syntax and options of the command you gave.

As for the tearing, what is the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Could try the Intel driver installer. OMGUbuntu has a guide.

ah can I have the link. I'm finding to much and have no clue what one is the right one to pick.

Can you help with this problem?
