I already had 'nvidia-current' installed; after I 'nvidia-current- updates' I still had the same problem after I restarted.

Matching subscriptions: dp-unity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991594 Title: compiz crashes on Unity3d [Fatal IO error 11 (Resource Temporiraly unavailable)] Status in Unity: Incomplete Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After reInstalling Ubuntu 12.04 from the April 22nd http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ image, compiz crashed and all I had was a black screen for a minute than just the desktop without Unity. I didn't have this problem with the Precise beta2. I'm not sure if the right log files where collected for the crash since after the crash information was collected, the browser didn't open and I had to restart my computer to get to Unity2d and run 'ubuntu-bug compiz'.
