I’m using Ubuntu Desktop 24.04.1 on virtualbox 7.0.22. When i go into the system settings app, all i get is a white window ( no options at all) that eventually starts to flicker that the edges of the window. I’ve re installed it, but that had no effect. Has anyone had this problem? Any tips for resolving this issue?

Thanks

As a test, does it display correctly if you run it in Terminal with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 environment variable set? -

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gnome-control-center

Yes, using the command you gave seems to work fine. I’ve tried running it from the command line in the past with out the “LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1” part, and it never worked.

Does it work if you instead set GSK_RENDERER=gl environment variable?

GSK_RENDERER=gl gnome-control-center

If that works, you can set that globally by adding the following line to ~/.profile -

export GSK_RENDERER=gl

Log out & log back in for this change to take effect

Looks like that resolved the issue. Thank you for you assistance Sir.
