[Bug 756492] Re: Unity fails to load fully
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 728745 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 The original bug remains unfixed, in other words, the combination of nvidia-current (270.xxx) driver, Unity/Compiz and GeForce 7400go still doesn't work. Apparently, the decision was made to blacklist the know affected hardware, so that the fallback Gnome2 may start by default instead of Unity. IMHO, the bug has been triaged, but not fixed. That said, there is an easy workaround, that worked for me. Install nvidia-173 instead of nvidia-current. If your card has been blacklisted, the fallback Gnome2 will load no matter what. To un-blacklist, add UNITY_FORCE_START=1 to /etc/environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/756492 Title: Unity fails to load fully -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Omer, I am not sure either.

So this bug is specifically an issue with the nvidia binary drivers.

Other OpenGL applications like Google Earth work fine on my system. This could also be a specific interaction between compiz and the nvidia drivers. Compiz hangs in Unity and in the classic desktop. Like everyone else, compiz is fine with nouveau for me. I also have a GeForce Go 7400 in my system like the original poster.

[Bug 756492] Re: Unity fails to load fully
Possibly fixed by removing Nvidia driver through Jockey ( aka additional drivers) and then installing/reinstalling Nouveau through Synaptic, followed by a reboot. After reboot, MIGHT have to select Nouveau/experimental driver in Jockey.
