I have the same (or very similar) problem on a fresh 16.04 install (same problem on 15.10 upgraded to 16.04, but I reinstalled to be sure).
Dell Latitude E4300 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller If I login with unity 8, I just get a black screen. Interestingly, sometimes I get a partially rendered desktop - however, I cannot get the launcher to work, switching windows doesn't work, and in general interacting with it is impossible. Another odd thing is that if I do this, after I login on lightdm, I am presented a different login screen - the password text field isn't properly aligned either which is odd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549455 Title: Unity 8 doesn't load on Intel Pineview graphics [qtubuntu: ASSERT: "eglDestroyContext(mEglDisplay, mEglContext) == EGL_TRUE"] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1549455/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
