I confirm this bug on dell xps 13 9333. In 14.04 I had intell graphics drivers installed.
As a solution for this bug, which works for me, I've removed AccelMethod" "glamor" from xorg.conf In my case just moved out file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf After rebooting bug not reproducible anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1392198 Title: unity-control center does not start after upgrade to unicorn Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: michaelz@michaelz-XPS-12-9Q23:~$ unity-control-center (unity-control-center:6132): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'unity-control-center' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 206 error_code 11 request_code 149 (unknown) minor_code 2) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
