I'm seeing a lot of lag while attempting to view YouTube or Twitch videos, the sound is fine but the video stops until I move the mouse.



Scrolling a web page in Chrome stable (66.0.3359.139) is laggy when using the touchscreen, two-finger scroll on the touchpad seems fine.



Lenovo G500s - i5-3230M - Intel Ivybridge Mobile graphics - 6gb RAM



Upgraded from 17.10 via software updater, 17.10 had been a clean install with nothing extra installed as this is just an internet browsing laptop.



I found a post suggesting running these commands:



sudo apt install libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extra


These helped in that I just have to move the mouse 1 time to get the video to play whereas before I had to move the mouse every few seconds to have the video play.

Is there any other info that I can provide?

    Okay here is something strange, if I run system monitor and use chrome I no longer experience the lag. Is it because it is polling the CPU? I opened it to see if there was perhaps a CPU spike that was causing the lag.

  • This is a known upstream issue with both chrome and chromium and is NOT distro specific - bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=822549 Workaround is to turn off hardware acceleration within chrome/chromium config or use Firefox.

  • I reported it for cheese developers, but I commented that it affects many other packages. You can subscribe here: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1777238

  • @JonDelano I want to thank you for providing the only "solution" to this probably that has actually worked for me -- opening System Monitor. Can't believe it works, but it stops the lag! Glad to see someone else with this problem
