[Bug 987726] Re: Unity doesn't start at all on a 3D capable machine instead of falling back to unity-2d as it should (because of lack of 16bit support in compiz).

Hello

Actually i have a similar problem with a fat clients on a 3D capable machine (intel i915 and nvdia).
After user login, i see empty screen without anything and default wallpaper. The right click is activate, and i can change default wallpaper or launch nautilus.

Manually selecting unity-2d works around the issue, i have full desktop
with unity-2d.

Possible by-pass by add the next line in LTS.CONF
LDM_SESSION="gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d"

Title:
  Unity doesn't start at all on a 3D capable machine instead of falling
  back to unity-2d as it should (because of lack of 16bit support in
  compiz).

Status in “ldm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Generic bug so I remember to investigate this. Apparently on some
  systems the fallback doesn't happen as it should and people get an
  empty session instead of unity-2d.

  Manually selecting unity-2d works around the issue. I'll release note
  this bug and investigate when I get back home.
