Boot dmesg output

Hello,

on my old MacBook4,1, using Ubuntu 14.10, it seems that the llvmpipe
driver is chosen instead of i965.

I'm attaching the boot dmesg output.

What makes you think it's using llvmpipe instead of i965? The
unity_support_test output says:

> OpenGL vendor string:   Intel Open Source Technology Center
> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2
> OpenGL version string:  2.1 Mesa 10.3.2

which shows the i965 driver in use.

Interesting.

I'm attaching the unity_support_test that made me (or rather a helpful
guy on launchpad, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1422163) think that
it was llvmpipe.

It was generated on on February. As far as my (limited) understanding
goes it looked like the i965 driver failed to load for some unknown
reason and llvmpipe was picked up as a fallback.

I re-generated the one I attached when I opened this ticket a few
minutes ago, on the same hardware.

Likely something changed in between in ubuntu, you are right, it looks
like the right driver is picked up now.

Sorry for the noise.

Title:
  Unity crashing while watching youtube videos using chrome

Status in Mesa:
  Invalid
Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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 it will crash sooner or later.

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

  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.
