Graphical corruption on icons in ubuntu software center

Asked by Paul Finlay

Hi,

I just installed Ubuntu via the Windows Installer and I am getting graphical corruption on the icons in the Ubuntu Software center when I mouse over them. The corruption then remains or glitches away until I re-open the software center.

Icons in settings e.t.c appear to be unaffected.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

In a terminal, run:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You won't get feedback from the password entry, just type and hit ENTER. Do updates help?
