Note that "Wayland" is not a display server. Wayland is just a protocol that apps can use to talk to any compatible display server.
The product you're using is "gnome-shell", and the offending component is possibly "mutter" if not "gnome-shell". ** No longer affects: wayland (Ubuntu) ** Project changed: wayland => ubuntu ** Package changed: ubuntu => gnome-shell ** Changed in: gnome-shell Importance: Unknown => Undecided ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #788908 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788908 ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1724810 Title: 17.10/wayland causing flashes in virtualbox Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, just as a quick response: I've installed the new 17.10 Desktop for testing in a virtual machine (VirtualBox 5.1.20 running on MacOS), and while it installed smoothly and booted instantly, there's a problem with the graphics (probably related to wayland): Especially when moving the mouse or starting new programs the screen flashes white every few seconds or sometimes shows just a blank grey screen for about a second. Not suited for regular work. But I have no clue which component precisely is causing that problem. regards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1724810/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
