This is a clean install as of this morning, specifically to investigate this problem, so whatever the problem is it has been there since install time.
I installed ccsm and found that the Unity plugin is disabled. I enabled it and it said it needed OpenGL plugin, the Scale plugin and the Expo plugin which I enabled. It then told me there were some conflicts, which I said to ignore. It then showed the plugin as enabled. When I clicked Back to take me back to the top level of ccsm and then back into the Unity plugin again it once again showed as disabled. I tried saying Resolve Conflicts instead but it did not make any difference. I then, in the top level tried enabling OpenGL explicitly. It showed checked but then after a few seconds deselected itself again. So perhaps that is cause of the problem, it is not possible to enable the OpenGL plugin for some reason. To check whether ccsm is able to save any settings I tried disabling png image loading, then closed ccsm and reopened it and it stayed disabled, and I was able to re-enable it ok. (thanks for the .Xauthority file suggestions, that makes sense). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212821 Title: Unity fails to load on old hardware on Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1212821/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
