The problem I have been trying to solve is I don't get the Unity left-side dock, etc. and when I tried the unity --reset command it failed - which I reported.
Here is the result of doing both in terminal: jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ python -c "import gconf; client = gconf.client_get_default(); current_profile_schema = client.get_schema('/apps/compizconfig-1/current_profile'); current_profile_gconfvalue = current_profile_schema.get_default_value(); print current_profile_gconfvalue; print current_profile_gconfvalue.get_string()" <GConfValue at 0x84a2e50> unity jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ unity --reset WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while resetting the values unity-panel-service: no process found Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : unity Adding plugins Initializing core options...done Initializing bailer options...done Initializing detection options...done Initializing composite options...done compiz (opengl) - Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing compiz (opengl) - Fatal: Software rendering detected compiz (bailer) - Info: Ensuring a shell for your session jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. jjl@jjl-VirtualBox:~$ I don't understand the "unity-panel-service" being missing but the "Fatal" message is the "GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap" is missing. This report was combined by someone with more familiarity (not difficult to find!) so I can only assume it is part of the string problem. I hope this helps.
