[Bug 1212821] Re: Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy

 

$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string:   VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.3, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string:  2.1 Mesa 9.2.0

Not software rendered:    no
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity 3D supported:       no

That looks a bit odd, it says that GL version 1.4 is supported.
I have tried forcing llvmpipe with LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 but that made no difference.

Title:
  Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On logging in I see just the wallpaper with no top panel and no launcher.
  Note that this is not bug #1066764 (Unity fails to load on old hardware (compiz enabling LLVMpipe has no effect and Mesa tries to use hardware still)) as compiz is at 1:0.9.9~daily13.04.18.1~13.04-0ubuntu4 and the errors for that bug are not seen in .xsessionerrors.

  .xsessionerrors only contains
  Script for cjkv started at run_im.
  Script for default started at run_im.

  The graphics is an intel 865 chipset.

  Xorg.0.log attached
