[Bug 1422163] [NEW] Unity crashing while watching youtube videos using chrome

 

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded to ubuntu 14.10 and started experiencing repeatable
unity crashes while watching youtube videos using current chrome. It
doesn't always crash at the first attempt but most definitely.

Once unity crashes it is respawn but again crashes immediately, the PC
becomes unusable until I kill X from the console or reboot. From my
.xsession-errors:

upstart: unity7 main process (9627) terminated with status 1
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (9998) terminated with status 1
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (10017) terminated with status 1
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (10041) terminated with status 1
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
upstart: unity7 main process (10054) terminated with status 1
upstart: unity7 main process ended, respawning
[you got the point]

Unity support test results are not reassuring:

------------
$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.3.2

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
------------

[possibly related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89146]

I never tried running unity_support_test before upgrading from 14.04 to
14.10, so I'm not sure if it looked better on 14.04 but definitely it
didn't crash in this way. In my view this is a regression.
