[Bug 1066764] [NEW] Unity fails to load on old hardware (blank desktop; only wallpaper).

 

Public bug reported:

Following the removal of unity-2d, Unity will not run on some hardware that does not support 3d. On login I get the background image but no launcher or panel.
.xsession-errors attached

If I add to /etc/environment the line
    LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
then unity start ok

This problem appeared after the fix to bug #1039155 (Unity fails to load
on old hardware (blank desktop; only wallpaper). Missing automatic
fallback to LLVMpipe when unity_support_test fails) was released.
