similiar question but for ubuntu 16.

I was trying to open google earth on chrome but was getting a message along the lines that I did not have any hardware accelaration.

So I followed some askubuntu questions and was able to get it working by enabling something in chrome's flags. But know I have the black bars and borders everywhere in ubuntu. Even the terminal is black and I can't see anything.

Please help

Some people have experienced situation aforementioned and this helped them.

Try:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

Why?

Because, this occurs when ubuntu-desktop is broken...

  • Are you using ubuntu desktop or other (like xfce)? – Olimjon Apr 23 '17 at 11:17
  • in systemsetting > details, it shows ubuntu 16.04 LTS – humble Apr 23 '17 at 11:18
  • This is obvious fault of ubuntu-desktop, maybe do you mind to try xubuntu? https://askubuntu.com/questions/65861/how-to-i-change-from-ubuntu-to-xubuntu – Olimjon Apr 23 '17 at 11:21
  • WIll it work? I think the problem is with my graphic drivers or something? I will wait for a few hours for some other solution. If I don't get one then I will go to xubuntu. If it isn't a problem, please upvote the question for visibility – humble Apr 23 '17 at 11:27

I was able to resolve the issue by reinstalling my nvidia graphics driver as mentioned by the accepted answer in this link.
