[Bug 1242115] Re: Black window borders, black terminal

 

I'm using 13.10 and a HP Pavilion dv6 with an Intel/NVIDIA GeForce
GT630M hybrid, where bumblebee is needed to make the proprietary driver
work. This isn't used for Unity/Compiz so the Xorg driver I'm using is
intel.

Mir does not work on this hardware - Xorg won't start (but that's off-
topic). To disable it, I commented out this line in
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-unity-system-compositor.conf

#type=unity

With this configuration I get the black window border / black terminal
symptom in Compiz consistently. I am not sure what the trigger was, but
it was when I re-installed stuff in an attempt to get bumblebee working.
It wasn't triggered when I upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10, but it happened
some time after.

I *have* had it working, and it may be that I previously got Mir to work
(because I definitely tried to do this).
