On a whim, I just checked in on this with the 20160601 Xenial daily amd64 ISO (sha1sum e07c8b4df1fc71a487fafb309bd318041a65774f), and everything works great:
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xenial/daily-live/pending/ So seems things are on track for this not being a problem in the 16.04.1 release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564156 Title: xenial: invalid opcode when using llvmpipe Status in OEM Priority Project: Fix Released Status in System76: Fix Released Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in llvm-toolchain-3.8 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in llvm-toolchain-3.8 source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in mesa source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: [Description updated to reflect state of 16.04 release ISO] == In summary == If you have an Intel Skylake (6th gen) CPU and an NVIDIA GPU (or possibly other GPUs that likewise require use of the llvmpipe opengl software fallback), a work-around is needed to install Ubuntu 16.04 desktop. To work-around this, you'll need to: 1) Choose "Install Ubuntu" in the pre-boot menu (rather than "Try Ubuntu without installing") 2) Check "Download updates while installing Ubuntu" ** Note: "Download updates while installing Ubuntu" doesn't currently seem to be working. If after installing 16.04 on effected Skylake hardware you find that Unity/Compiz is broken, switch to a VT with Control+Alt+F1, login, and then run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade You should see the `libllvm3.8` package get updated. After a reboot, Unity/Compiz should be working. == In detail == The Ubuntu 16.04 desktop ISOs include libllvm3.8 1:3.8-2ubuntu1, which has a bug that results in invalid JIT code generation when using the mesa llvmpipe opengl software fallback on Skylake CPUs. When you encounter this bug, Unity/Compiz will fail to start, and you'll see something like this in dmesg: [ 2092.557913] traps: compiz[10155] trap invalid opcode ip:7efc940030d4 sp:7ffccd914ea0 error:0 libllvm3.8 1:3.8-2ubuntu3 fixes this issue, but the fix did not make it onto the 16.04 release ISOs. It will be included on the 16.04.1 ISOs.
