Rep:
Unity stopped working Ubuntu Natty on Dell laptop
I am running 32-bit Ubuntu 11.04 on a Dell Vostro 1710 laptop. When I first upgraded, Unity worked fine. I had even used the instructions from this site to enable the desktop cube.
When I logged in this evening, I got a message that the system cannot run unity, and all of the Compiz effects have started working also.
Code:
spike@xx:~$ unity --reset
WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while resetting the values
unity-panel-service: no process found
Backend : gconf
Integration : true

spike@xx:~$ Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
In addition to this, I tried dropping to tty1 and restarting the gdm service. No joy.
Does anybody have any ideas about how I can get unity working again?
Click here to see the post LQ members have rated as the most helpful post in this thread.
Since it is not an ATI or Nvidia card, neither of tommcd's suggested commands work:
Code:
spike@xx:~$ glxinfo | grep -i render
The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
spike@xx:~$ fgrlxinfo
fgrlxinfo: command not found
And here is the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I removed all of the information related to keyboard, mouse and touchpad since I do not believe it is relevant.

You have the nvidia driver installed for some reason, but you are using an Intel GPU. You should remove the nvidia driver (check in "synaptic" for any packages installed with "nvidia" in the name) and remove them. Restart X, and then try again. It's also worth installing mesa-utils so that you can check the "glxinfo" output after restarting X.
Distribution: Ubuntu 11.04, that alternative OS from Washington State

Rep:
Bingo! I was wondering about that, but a bit fearful about removing the nvidia driver. Restarted X and everything works again. I've got the Unity desktop and my wobbly windows. Now I just need to re-enable the cube and all will be well.
Thanks to both of you for your help!
UPDATE: Cube is working again and all is well.
