I'm not sure exactly what happened. I was running Unity just fine. After an upgrade some weeks ago Unity stopped working. There was a popup that told me what happened but I can't remember the exact words it used. Something to the effect that My computer doesn't support Unity and it would automatically switch to Gnome.

(I've got an NVdia GTX460 as my video card and an overclocked AMD Phenom II 965 BE)

Help? (I've tried searching for related threads but can't find much)


/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -pResults in:


X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 138 (NV-GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 ()

I would re-install your Nvidia drivers.

It look like you have bad driver, you will want to reinstall from website or hardware driver update.

I think I fixed it...

Fixed!

(To anyone paying attention,

I followed the afore mentioned advice, but installed an older driver rather than a newer one. Installing the newest driver fixed all of my problems, Unity now works just fine!

Thanks for the Help!)
