It still does not work: if I select "Ubuntu" as session, I just get the background image and the mouse pointer: no menus, windows, or anything. Clicking any of the mouse buttons does nothing.
Then I switch to a console, set DISPLAY to :0 and try to start unity. I attach the console text. It hangs after "Initializing composite options...done", just before "Initializing opengl options", until I switch to the vt runing X11 and back, where it continues writing as written in the attachment. glxinfo also does not run from the vt: it just says "Name of display: :0" and stays there until I stop it with control-c. After starting an "Ubuntu 2D" session, glxinfo works fine. I attach also the output of glxinfo after starting the Unity 2D session, run from a Gnome terminal. If I switch to the text-mode vt it still hangs, but xlogo does work. If I try "unity --replace" from the Gnome terminal, I get the same output as from the vt except that it does not hang. At the end I get the same segmentation fault, and the window decorations are gone. I can type in both the terminal and Firefox, and the indicators panel works, but I can't rearrange the windows. Firefox stays behind the terminal as it was before. ** Attachment added: "Terminal output when starting unity" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/832681/+attachment/2573187/+files/unity-opengl-segfault.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/832681 Title: Unity fails to start with ATI proprietary drivers - GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx/+bug/832681/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
