Problem with the video card, I think, in Ubuntu

[marcob9999]

Hello everyone.
Today I opened REW (after a long time) and the windows are completely black!!!
Only in the main window, if I resize it, I can see something, but as soon as I click something, the windows go back to black.
When I hover over the various buttons with the mouse, they appear, then disappear as soon as I move the mouse.
I have tried installing the latest beta version, but nothing changed.
Then I deleted REW and installed version V5.31.3 and still nothing changed.
It seems like a problem with the video card (probably caused by an update), but these things are beyond my capabilities
The operating system I'm using is UBUNTU 24.04.3.LTS.

Does anyone have any suggestions???
Thanks a lot!!!
Marco

Maybe your system switched from X11 to Wayland? What does

echo "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE"

say ?

YES!

The answer to your command is: wayland

updates ...
If this is the cause (as you think), what can I do ?

Many thanks for your answer!!!

Switch your desktop to X11 and check if it helps. Just google out the method (it should be at login screen).

Unfortunately the Wayland support in java has still a long way to go https://openjdk.org/projects/wakefield/ https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/wakefield/Work+breakdown
