Thanks for the repl;y.<br>

It worked fine in the VM. The problem is in the native Linux
installation. There is no option for 3D acceleration in the install
process, as far as I am aware.<br>
<br>
As I said, tehr was no problem in Debian v-7.2.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I ran into something similar this morning after an
upgrade to Virtualbox. Chrome would launch, then display large
blocks of white or black and lock up the entire VM. Firefox,
Terminal, other apps worked fine. Turns out the issue was with
3D acceleration. I'd check and make sure your video drivers are
properly configured for your hardware and see if that might lead
you down the right path - if it's limited to a couple of
programs it might be trying to exercise part of the graphics
system that the others don't.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a rather
perplexing problem.</p>

a two year old (at least the most recent
upgrade) 3.5GHz AMD 64 bit octa-core CPU. </p>

<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>
