Similar problem here. Unity doesn't start. Wishlist: Make Unity work with OpenGL 1.2 without extensions (and not only with OpenGL 1.4+ plus some extensions).
I have an Intel Celeron 1800 MHz, 768 Mb RAM and an Asus AGP-VGA with nVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 GPU (32 Mb Video RAM). Just installed Ubuntu 11.04 (32 Bit) without problems but Unity is not working. Ubuntu Classic works with Compiz. All updates installed and Nouveau driver activated. condor@pluto:~$ uname -a Linux pluto 2.6.38-10-generic # 46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:05:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux condor@pluto:~$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev a1) condor@pluto:~$ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installiert: 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 Kandidat: 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 Versionstabelle: *** 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.8.10-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages condor@pluto:~$ apt-cache policy compiz compiz: Installiert: 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty2 Kandidat: 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty2 Versionstabelle: *** 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages condor@pluto:/usr/lib/nux$ unity --reset [...] done Error: OpenGL 1.4+ not supported condor@pluto:/usr/lib/nux$ ./unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: Nouveau OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI nv11 20091015 x86/MMX/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 7.10.2 Not software rendered: yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: no GL fragment program: no GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: no Unity supported: no I have attached the output of glxinfo.
