This question already has an answer here:



  • How do I install drivers for an Intel HD Graphics?

    3 answers



I've made some strange experiences ever since I upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04: Small vertical red lines are occuring next to (random) letters in almost every word that is displayed in any program. This is kind of annoying, since it renders a text hard to read. Changing of fonts does not help. Does anyone know what might cause this problem and could give me a hint regarding a possible solution?



I would highly appreciate that.

    What driver are you using for the videocard? You might get better results switching to or from the open source from the proprietary version. If that is possible What make/model is it?

  • It's a Lenovo Ideapad 500s-14isk with low specs, i.e. Intel® Core™ i3-6100U CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4, Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) and 3 GB DDR3. As for the drive the Ubuntu installation came with i915, which seems to be proprietary. I am not aware of other drivers, but I would be thankful if you could name me some :)

I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
