I'm having a bit of a graphics issue with my Google Chrome. I recently downloaded Ubuntu 22.04 on VMware and downloaded Chrome from the terminal. The problem is that I have all this weird graphical issues, but only in Chrome web browser. Is there a way I can fix this? I want to use Chrome rather than Firefox.

Found a workaround for this:

chrome://flags

Search for "Vulkan"

Change from "default" to "Enabled"

Restart Chrome

  • But why does Ubuntu 22.04 cause this when Ubuntu 21.10 did not? – Slbox Nov 02 '22 at 05:07
  • I've been using Ubuntu 22.04 for about 6 months and never had this issue. Now I'm getting it a lot! Started this week. Enabling Vulkan did not solve it to me. Actually, setting it to "disabled" is working better. I have RX 580 graphics card. – Bruno Polo Jun 27 '23 at 12:35

I also had this problem on Ubuntu 22.04. Enabling Vulkan solves the graphics issue on chromium-based browsers. But the problem with this is that any web app that requires webGL is not working.

here's an example: https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_keyframes

Right now my best solution is to disable 3D acceleration in browser settings, though this comes at a cost of performance in 3D objects but you'll be able to see everything in the website correctly.
