hello, for whatever reason, the next time I've booted up, my desktop became \
completley black. I mean, the graphical login was visible, the black screen was \
happening after logging in.I tried different desktops, that were installed: Gnome 3, \
Unity, LXDE, Xfce, but i was always getting black screen. I don't know, why it \
happened. Possibly, something got updated and it caused this problem. It happened \
about a 2 months ago. After spending a couple of days troubleshooting it, nothing \
helped, so I desided to do the unthinkable, upgrade my LTS 22.04 Ubuntu to the latest \
version, that was at the time 23.04. It fixed the black screen, but the picture \
became overexposed:
I tried to install drivers from different unofficial repositories, but none of them \
changed the situation, so I returned the drivers from the official repository.I tried \
using xrandr and other utilities to change contrast, brightness and gamma with using \
reference pictures for adjusting those values, but it didn't help. White range was \
still cut off after certain value, but it just became more dimm, when I tried to \
lower those values and lower range of blacks was cut off on the lower range even when \
trying to raise those values.The only time, when picture became normal was, when I \
loaded LXDE and openbox:
Gnome 3, Unity and Xfce were openexposed.
I tried to do: openbox --replace after loading different DE, but it didn't work with \
Gnome 3 and Unity, but it worked on Xfce. Also, metacity --replace works on Xfce, \
but, even though, it mostly looks normal on Xfce, some programs still are \
overexposed.I think, the programs, that have modern interfaces. Some pdf/fb2/epub \
readers, Blender, mpv, GoDot, etc, Ubuntu's Software store are still overexposed even \
in xfce or lxde with openbox or metacity. I've noticed one thing, when loading the \
Desktop Environment:On login screen the picture is normal, not overexposed. Then, \
after entering username/password, the desktop starts loading normal (not \
overexposed). Then, a few seconds after login screen disappears, while still seeing a \
wall paper, over desktops, seems like some transparent rectangle gets loaded taking \
almost an entire screen, not reaching edges only about 1 centimeter around it and \
under it's transparency, the wallpaper gets overexposed, then shortly after the whole \
screen gets overexposed. I tried to disable all the programs, that autostart, but \
none of them cause it.Maybe there is something gets loaded by system, that causes it. \
