It's probably good for everyone to keep an eye on https://launchpad.net /~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa . Right now it says:
"July 13th: Mesa currently has problems with unity where the launcher icons are invisible, it's suggested to hold mesa back to the 0529 version, stop using this PPA, or use another session such as gnome or unity-2d until it is fixed." So people who want to stick with the edgers drivers should try downgrading the mesa packages first. You may still have them on your system, under /var/cache/apt/archives , or you might find them by poking around the ppa. Another alternative is mentioned at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers : "For DDX (card drivers) updates there is https://launchpad.net/~xorg- edgers/+archive/drivers-only. These are relatively safe drop-in replacements that can be used in otherwise square installs of Ubuntu." It's possible Jason and others might get better results from that PPA. Hope this might help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024768 Title: [xorg-edgers] Missing icons in unity launcher and app switcher after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1024768/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
