Executive summary: Find attached, the glxinfo.txt that you asked for. Note that GL_ARB_vertex_program is indeed available.
I re-ran the previous test several times and got all the errors to occur except for "compiz closed unexpectedly" as it was running metacity instead of compiz (so it F6-nomodeset does not make the errors go away). metacity ran fine and brought up a simple desktop that was not locked up. The message that it gives to warn you that do not have Unity or 3D is "Sorry, you don't have 3d support, install it for your graphic hardware to get Unity or please reboot and select 'Classic session' at startup.". While running metacity for desktop I ran jockey-gtk to add closed source drivers and it allowed me to add nvidia-96. (This first time, it had two options, apparently nvidia-96 and nouveau. Several more test runs from boot up only had nvidia-96 showing for some strange reason.) jockey-gtk crashed after adding nvidia-96. Running jockey-gtk again said nvidia-96 was installed but not activated. I logged out of X and back in to activate it and got the same set of "xyz closed unexpectedly" as before (compiz, unity-support-test, etc.) because it loaded compiz instead of metacity and tried to use the 3D. It would not let me report the jockey-gtk crash as it said I had old software (lots which would probably fill up the ramdisk, and including libc6 which would require a reboot) and had to update first. I booted from the cd again (still using F6-nomodeset) and was able to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add universe, etc and thus was able to install mesa-utils and with a responsive desktop I was able to run glxinfo. ** Attachment added: "glxinfo from an F6-nomodeset (= metacity) boot up" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nux/+bug/709649/+attachment/1829943/+files/glxinfo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709649 Title: unity_support_test crashed with SIGSEGV in nux::IOpenGLAsmVertexShader::IOpenGLAsmVertexShader() -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
