Yesterday I experienced some kind of tearing on my rather new install of Ubuntu 14.04. Still, I've done some tweaking using the tweak-tool.

Well, yesterday some program was reported crashing, shortly before this weird tearing appeared for the first time. But now it happens again and again, especially when I use the startup disk creator to erase my pendrive before creating the startup disk.

I don't know what it is, but maybe you guys can help me out.

Currently, I haven't installed any drivers that aren't installed out of the box.

    Try going to additional drivers and seeing if there are any drivers for the system, can you also paste the specifications of your computer/graphics card. – Mateo Sep 08 '14 at 13:52
  • try to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal (++) – αғsнιη Sep 08 '14 at 13:56
  • Yeah, additional driver's-GUI shows me some available drivers for my NVIDIA GTX660. My CPU is an i5-3470 and I've got 8 gb RAM.

    If it helps (paste of my complete system-info): http://pastebin.com/kQjb73Wh

Try to create a new user account

sudo adduser myname

Then logout, and login into the new user account. Many Compiz/user interface problem was solved by this simple solution.
