am embarrassed to say the problem for me was that I was running unity 2d. I assumed it would run 3d because I always ran compiz in the past. Also, it was difficult to find out which I was running as they look very similar. It turns out my nVidia card was blacklisted because of Unity freezing issues with the latest nvidia driver.
