Public bug reported:
I really struggled as far as what package to file this against so
apologies in advance, but I don't know what process determines whether
to load standard unity or unity-2d.
As the title says I'm running an old VIA C7 CPU with P4M800 graphics and
both the live desktop appeared to be booting into the standard "ubuntu"
DE, and it was so unusable I couldn't really even see what was going on.
So I rebooted the 20120225 i386 live CD (actually DVD due to iso size)
and chose install.
The installation completed but as expected I booted into a nearly
unusable DE, although I was very patient and managed to get a terminal
launched to run "echo $DESKTOP_SESSION" and it said "ubuntu". So I
logged out and chose the 2D session ............ certainly that was much
more acceptable.
I looked at the xorg logs and it seems x properly recognized the
graphics, and I don't think this would be a ubiquity bug since it also
effects the live DE, maybe a casper bug? I'm really clueless so
apologies again.
After installation, managing to logout, and choosing 2D things seem
acceptable (aside from unrelated bugs) and the choice of 2D is retained
by lightdm if that's helpful.
