Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <gbert...@br.ibm.com> - 2015-08-28 12:01:09 == For systems lacking 3D HW Acceleration, like those with an AST video card, gnome-session refuses to start using SW renderer without the '--disable-acceleration-check' flag.
The real issue was fixed upstream here: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731173> We need to enable this flag in the Exec= entry in X session files, for both Gnome and Unity, in the gnome-session package, so we can use these WMs with AST card. This trivial patch would do the job. --- debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch.original 2015-08-28 15:30:41.849343718 +0000 +++ debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch 2015-08-28 15:33:42.912181710 +0000 @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ Index: b/data/gnome.desktop.in _Comment=This session logs you into GNOME -Exec=gnome-session -TryExec=gnome-session -+Exec=gnome-session --session=gnome ++Exec=gnome-session --session=gnome --disable-acceleration-check +TryExec=gnome-shell Icon= Type=Application @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ Index: b/data/ubuntu.desktop.in +[Desktop Entry] +_Name=Ubuntu +_Comment=This session logs you into Ubuntu -+Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu ++Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu --disable-acceleration-check +TryExec=unity +Icon= +Type=Application ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-129589 severity-high targetmilestone-inin1510 ** Tags added: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-129589 severity-high targetmilestone-inin1510 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493012 Title: Set --disable-acceleration-check in gnome-session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1493012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
