After 1.27GB update youtube videos thumbnails does not show

[rhussain]

Hi,
I just update 1.27GB updates. After that my browser is not working properly. Youtube videos thumbnails does not show just a gray box. When hover over the mouse then video display. Is anybody facing this issue.
My Graphic Card is MSI RX 6700XT. I am using Gnome desktop. Please see the attached screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Yea, after this massive update, all my Chrome based browsers are broken too.

Here’s the fix (see myswtest Reply):

Chromium and chromium based browsers (Vivaldi) not displaying content correctly

I had a similar issue recently with Chrome, Chrome Beta, Brave … no doubt Chromium will have it too. This fix works for me. For each affected app, I had to delete the associated GPUCache sub-directory. There is quite a few to delete, search for them like this find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache (in the users home directory) They can all be deleted in one fell swoop with: find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache -exec rm -rf {} + … but do it at your own risk. I actually renamed them to “GPUCache–ho…

This used to happen to me after every Mesa update. The solution was to delete the .rpm-based Chrome (and its associated repo) and use flatpak instead. Since then my Chrome has been 100% rock stable.

Hmmm.
My desktops have AMD Radeon RX for graphics - all affected.

The laptops use Mesa Intel UHD Graphics … sometimes affected.

For me, the common theme appears to be when libllvm1 is updated.

As per your instruction it works. I have to delete the files though.
Thanks

Initially, I was concerned that deleting the GPUCache folders might not work, or would have some other side effects, so I renamed them. But after some testing, all worked fine

So now, I simply run the “find with rm” command … so yea, I delete them now.
