12.04 Unity 3D Not working where as Unity 2D works fine
- by Stephen Martin
I updated from 11.10 to 12.04 using the distribution upgrade, after that I couldn't log into using the Unity 3D desktop after logging in I would either never get unity's launcher or I would get the launcher and once I tried to do anything the windows lost their decoration and nothing would respond.
If I use Unity 2D it works fine and in fact I'm using it to type this.
I managed to get some info out of dmesg that looks like it's the route of whats happening.
dmesg:

I know im using the beta version so I'm not expecting it to work but does any one know what the problem may be or even why they Unity compatibility test is describing my video card as vmware when its an intel i915 and Ubuntu is running on the metal not virtualised. Unity 3D worked fine in 11.10
