Now , yay! back to a reloading unity as i reported initially! ;-) Looks like either the mesa update fixed the constant white screen or maybe it was the clutter update.
"mutter --replace" just works fine works and no need to use CLUTTER_VBLANK=none mutter --replace . Its only unity that is broken now [again]. seems like the disable-effects flag requirement is the one that remains as mentioned in comment #64 and what neil mentioned a couple of days ago. <njpatel> vish, yep, we got stalled on a workaround, I pinged the team for that this morning, hopefully we'll have an answer soon. Sorry it's taken so long, but it's harder to switch stuff off than switch it on it seems :) Attaching today's xsession-errors. $ apt-cache policy libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa: Installed: 7.9~git20100909-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 7.9~git20100909-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 7.9~git20100909-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy clutter-1.0 clutter-1.0-tests: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages libclutter-1.0-0: Installed: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: *** 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status clutter-1.0-tests-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages libclutter-1.0-tests: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: libclutter-1.0-tests-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: gir1.0-clutter-1.0: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages libclutter-1.0-dev: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages libclutter-1.0-dbg: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages libclutter-1.0-doc: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 Version table: 1.2.12-0ubuntu13 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages ** Attachment added: "xsession-errors-9-17" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/616997/+attachment/1598403/+files/xsession-errors-9-17 -- [RV515] Unity keeps reloading with a white background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
