[Bug 1357753] Re: compiz crashed with signal 5 in g_type_create_instance()

 

Did Ctrl-Alt-F1 and saw a whole pile of messages from unity trying to
start.

Earliest error message:

"unity is not supported by your hardware"

Hello?  Unity runs fine with utopic linux-image -5 level and -6 level.

How come utopic unity at -8 level has decided that "unity is not
supported by your hardware"?

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz

Has bee running unity all along until linux image -7 level.  At linux -5
level unity is supported by this Lenovo 6234 ThinkCentre, suddenly -7
and -8 decide unity is not supported by this same hardware that has been
running unity fine?

Thanks, Jerry
