[Bug 1158611] Re: 12.10 New build. No unity or "time" bar
OK, I think I've got a cause, but not a solution as yet. I've just installed 13.04 onto a new partition, with a new, seperate /home - I'll call it Temp-home(TH) to save typing On previous installs of Ubuntu, I use an existing seperate /home, I'll call it PH to save typing. When 13.04 starts using TH, Unity works and I get a status bar. When I add PH to /etc/fstab, Unity does'nt work and status bar is missing. Take PH out of /etc/fstab and Unity/status bar are fine. Not enough room to merege PH into TH. Looks like there's something within PH that's conflicting and stopping Unity/ status bar from appearing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158611 Title: 12.10 New build.

Dave, On the clean install:- 1) From the desktop, no Unity / task bar, ctrl/alt/f1 to login and install gnome-panel & synaptic. Would not let me install fglrx as "part of another package" 2) Restarted lightdm in gnome-panel. 3) Using synaptic, installed all updates, which included a refresh of ubuntu-drivers-common, which include fglrx and a newer kernal. Also installed the packages I commonly use from the repository 4) Rebooted into ubuntu - no unity / taskbar 5) Using synaptic, re-installed fglrx, installed linux-headers-generic. Using software-control, installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. Reguired update of software sources to do this.

@Robert: this is not really a Unity problem. The user is trying to use fglrx/Catalyst and it is not installed properly, so there's no 3D acceleration available. Normally, Unity falls back to software 3D (llvmpipe) in such a case, but llvmpipe (or any open-source 3D driver) will not work correctly if a proprietary video driver is installed. ** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158611 Title: 12.10 New build.
