<p class="MsoNormal"> Due to a rather catastrophic
failure I have just upgraded the OS from Debian v-7.2
to Debian v-8.4.0. I downloaded the DVD-1 and the
checksum was correct. When I burned it to a DVD here
were no problems. Nor, were there any problems with
the installation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, several of the
applications that I use on rather a daily basis are
acting rather strangely. A case in point is Avogadro,
which happens to be a part of the distribution and
therefore I didn’t have to compile the source code.
It installed without any warnings or errors. When I
run the application the graphic window is corrupted!
This is also the case with another application, VMD,
that I downloaded and installed. Both application
worked without any problems in the previous Debian OS.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are other applications that I
run, both in gui’s and terminals that continue to run
flawlessly in the new OS.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, if that isn’t confusing
enough, I tried something else. I installed the Linux
VMWare Workstation 12 Player and installed the same
Debian 8.4.0 in that. And . . . the display
problem no longer exists!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously, I don’t want to have to
run the native Linux Distribution in an VM, but I
don’t have the faintest clue as to what is going on,
nor any inkling how to fix the problem.</p>
