I've been bitten by this also on a new install, exhibiting exactly the
same blank desktop with no icons, side launcher or top panel.

The mesa OpenGL driver is claiming OpenGL 2.1 is supported. The Xorg
driver is not creating the default X visual with OpenGL support. That
means one of two things:
(1) It's possible to configure Xorg to provide a GL-enabled visual as
the default root visual, somehow, or

Ok, well, it is trying to use llvmpipe. A fairly recent change in Nux
handles this now (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-

Looking at the gnome-session.log, the failure is occurring when the open plugin

Hi Colin,
The Compiz opengl plugin is not loading, which is obvious:) So I've
been thinking about why it's not loading on your machine. The "old
hardware" in the bug title got me wondering what type of graphics
hardware is in the system. I just now noticed that you wrote that you
have Intel 865
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
plug
Looking at the gnome-session.log file it appears there were problems
with OpenGL support in X at some point. That seems to have disabled the
OpenGL compiz plugin.
I'd suggest running the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager (ccsm) and
unselecting the Unity plugin (if it's checked) and the re-sel

Running /usr/bin/unity gives very similar output, but not identical so

Also attached gnome-session.log which does have errors.

Yeah, it's very unfortunate that apport incorrectly marks bugs as dups
and removes the traceback information before a developer gets a chance
to look.
It really sounds like a problem when running unity-support-test during
the boot sequence, and the fingers generally point to a bug in the

I have the next release of nux-tools (4.0.2+13.10.20130816.2-0ubuntu1)
but still see the issue. In fact now I am also seeing unity-support-
test crash (bug #1213319). Since that bug has been marked a dup of bug
#810182 which was marked fix released in January 2012 I am not sure what
to do.

I suspect this is because the Unity hardware detection (and subsequent
fallback to software rendering) was removed from Compiz and added as a
session startup script in Nux but the entire change has not made it
through the distro landing process.
