[Ubuntu MATE] [Nimbus Look-and-Feel] Visual glitches on buttons

[Sjonnie]

Hi All,

Since a couple of weeks all the buttons in the interface are "garbled". Below an example of match and rename button:



I have uninstalled and re-installed FileBot but that didn't help.

I have searched this forum but could not find an answer.

Running filebot -script fn:sysinfo results in this:

If anyone has any thoughts...

1.
Most likely a graphics acceleration problem. A Google Search might help:
https://superuser.com/a/1325630/349721

Also, since you're using Ubuntu MATE it seems some Gnome dependencies might be missing, otherwise FileBot would use GTK look rather than defaulting to Nimbus look:
https://youtu.be/sEFP3CsntNs


2.
Since Nimbus look doesn't work well in this case, you could try a different look and see if that works around the problem:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9827


3.
The SNAP package is also worth a try, if the DEB package doesn't work for some reason:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5984

[Sjonnie]

Let me start by thanking you for your swift reply!

1.
I don't understand what I should do with the post on SuperUser. How am I to change the hardware acceleration? Note that I am using Compiz on my machine.

Neither synaptic or apt indicate I am missing packages. I have updated twice but nothing showed.

2.
Darcula theme results in FileBot not starting at all. Metal works. I do however prefer Nimbus because it integrates well into my desktop environment.

3.
I tried the snap package but after starting FileBot as a snap i got this:


I am a bit lost here.

1.
We can run filebot with custom system properties from console like so:

Code: Select all

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"
filebot

EDIT:

Here's some more options worth trying, to see if any of them make a difference:
viewtopic.php?t=4917#p27529


2.
If it crashes on startup, then we'll want to run from console so we can see the error messages:

Code: Select all

export JAVA_OPTS="-Dnet.filebot.theme=Darcula"
filebot

[Sjonnie]

Hi again,

1.
That works! And since I am a lazy sod I decided to modify /usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh to include the options (look for $JAVA_OPTS)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
FILEBOT_HOME="/usr/share/filebot"

if [ -z "$HOME" ]; then
	echo '$HOME must be set'
	exit 1
fi

# select application data folder
APP_DATA="$HOME/.filebot"
LIBRARY_PATH="$FILEBOT_HOME/lib"
MODULE_PATH="$FILEBOT_HOME/mod"

java -Dapplication.deployment=deb --module-path "$MODULE_PATH" --add-modules ALL-MODULE-PATH -Dnet.filebot.AcoustID.fpcalc="$LIBRARY_PATH/fpcalc" -Dunixfs=false -DuseExtendedFileAttributes=true -DuseCreationDate=false -Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true -Djna.nosys=true -Djna.nounpack=true --illegal-access=permit --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.invoke=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util.function=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util.regex=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio.file=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio.file.attribute=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio.channels=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio.charset=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.time=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.time.chrono=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util.concurrent=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.logging/java.util.logging=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/javax.swing.text.html=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.prefs/java.util.prefs=ALL-UNNAMED -Djna.boot.library.path="$LIBRARY_PATH" -Djna.library.path="$LIBRARY_PATH" -Djava.library.path="$LIBRARY_PATH" -Dapplication.dir="$APP_DATA" -Dapplication.cache="$APP_DATA/cache" -Djava.io.tmpdir="$APP_DATA/tmp" -Dfile.encoding="UTF-8" -Dsun.jnu.encoding="UTF-8" -Dnet.filebot.UserFiles.fileChooser=JavaFX -DuseGVFS=true -Dnet.filebot.gio.GVFS="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs" $JAVA_OPTS -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true $FILEBOT_OPTS -jar "$FILEBOT_HOME/jar/filebot.jar" "$@"

I will keep an extra copy incase of an upgrade

2.
Haven't tried this option because the first one works like a charm

Tx!

Greetz,

Sjonnie

[rednoah]

I'd create my own launcher script at /usr/local/bin/filebot like so:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_OPTS="-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true"
/usr/share/filebot/bin/filebot.sh "$@"

TAGS: Linux, Java Swing, Nimbus Look-and-Feel, button, visual artifacts, graphical issues

[Sjonnie]

Hi,

You are right! I have removed the other two options and FileBot still starts up without visual artifacts.

Tx again!

EDIT: Your addition to create a new launcher is even better! No need to change anything after an upgrade.

EDIT2: bummer! The new launcher does not work. The visual artifacts are back. I have tried all possible syntax but no joy.

Greetz,

Sjonnie
