2 years ago This is happening to me as well. Any idea how to solve this?
One thing I noticed is Xiwi windows get into this mode whenever I attempt to take a screenshot of when I present my window during a virtual meeting via Google Meet etc.
Please advise.

2 years ago @dnschneid @harmalkar Hello, sorry to drag this out but I am running into this issue for the second time. It always seems to happen when I present my Crouton application while "sharing a window" in Google Meet. The problem has same visual symptoms as mentioned above and is persistent even though I restart my pixelbook and or remove and reinstall the Chrome Crouton Extension. Please advise. The very odd thing is the only way to properly view my display is by viewing it through a shared window on Google Meet. See below screenshot for reference.
I believe the first time the issue was resolved due to a chromeOS update. This was a lucky break honestly because now that I have this issue again, I am not exactly sure what to do. Any help would be great.

2 years ago Another update, I tired reinstalling xiwi via:
sudo sh /usr/local/bin/crouton -t xiwi -u -n xenial
but the visual issues persist. Any suggestions?

2 years ago Last update: I forced a ChromeOS update by changing to dev channel. Now the display is working as expected. However, now I'm stuck here because changing back to Sable or Beta will require a Powerwash >:-\
I will definitely avoid presenting with Google Meet from now on.

2 years ago @grde1988,
If you're avoiding a powerwash due to a crouton chroot be aware that 'crouton' has both backup & restore options.
Hope this helps, -*DennisLfromGA

8 months ago I have the same issue. Should I go into the dev channel or wait until a new Chromebook update? I know I am responding to 3 year old comment, but I hope you'll still be able to help me. Thanks.

7 months ago No, don't go dev. I still had the same problem even when using the dev branch. When you say you are having the same issue, you mean graphic issues on a google pixelbook or other chromebook. I still have the problem and it made it impossible to work with crouton. I believe it has to do with the chromebook updates, something needs to be updates for the newer versions

Please describe your issue:
I'm using the crouton integration app with xiwi to display the desktop environment. It's been working perfectly for about a month, but today something broke and the text and icons no longer display properly:
As you can see from the image above, the display environment has become slightly transparent, the background wallpaper is gone, and the text is hard to read. There are a few other issues which are hard to take a screenshot of as well, such as text disappearing when hovering over it or text not clearing when it normally would after the display refreshes.
This is the output which appears in the terminal after I run sudo startxfce4:
This issue affects every app I try to run, not just the desktop environment. For example, when I run sudo enter-chroot xiwi xterm, the display is all white and doesn't refresh until I move the window. When I do move the window, the text refreshes but is light and hard to read against the white background.
