Public bug reported: After upgrading to oneiric, GLX stopped working, for example gnome-shell would not run. This was because swrast instead of real rendered was used. This in turn had to do with permissions:
crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 2011-07-11 17:49 /dev/dri/card0 And my user was previously not in video group. Added the user to the video group and now everything works. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808936 Title: oneiric upgrade regression: personal account not in video group causes gnome-shell to fail (glx) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/808936/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
