That particular one was replaced by a more recent attachment, so I deleted it. See the list of attachments on the bug report - hope you agree it is somewhat easier to follow now. Apologies for the confusion over the kernels - the ones I quoted were of course the kernels on which xorg was built. That said, you do have different kernels for each machine, which would mean different kernel modules and potentially different behaviour. Also the Xorg.0.log files show an interesting difference: derek-Dual2: xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1 dad-dual2: xorg-server 2:1.10.2.902+git20110708+server-1.10-branch.bc3c539e-0ubuntu0sarvatt~natty The former is the same as my fresh installed system, the latter is clearly very different. Could we see current versions of xserver-xorg: dpkg -l xserver-xorg Just paste the results into your response, no need to add as an attachment. My suspicion is that this bug is invalid as currently logged - the two systems are not the same - as evidenced by the different kernels. I suspect you should probably just be trying to get help on why dad-dual2 is not working through the usual channels. Anyway, thank you for your considerable patience, I don't believe I'll need any further information after the above. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817063 Title: unity desktop wont run Status in Unity: New Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: For some time now I have been running Ubuntu Karmic Koala with no problem.I was tempted to upgrade to Natty Narwhale so I installed it from DVD onto a spare partition on my 2nd disk) and it loaded ok and gave me a Unity desktop. However, when I upgraded Karmic to V11.04 via the web I was told that my hardware did not support Unity and gave me Gnome desktop. How come one version of Natty lets me run Unity where- as the upgraded version wont and both disks on the same pc?
