Why am I getting weird glitchy buttons and text?

Question

As you can see from the picture, I just installed Ubuntu on my system and I am getting some strange Glitchy graphics. This also happens in the Password field on Login.

Any ideas what this could be and how I can fix it? It doesn't happen when running other Desktop Enviroments like GNOME.

Answer 1

Try unity -- reset. If not, re-install Unity from the software centre. You will have to do this in another environment like GNOME, or Unity will go bonkers when you uninstall it.

Hope this helps!
