[nvidia] unity crashed in nux::GraphicsEngine::QRP_GLSL_1Tex (glDrawArrays)

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[Test Case]
Test case only for Nvidia gfx hardware - confirming that Unity does not crash on start.

[Regression Potential]
Visual regressions at most.

Original description:

Both running unity trunk and unity-5.0 with the regional damage support (see both lp:~vanvugt/unity/regionalDamage and lp:~thumper/unity/regional-damage-sru) the nvidia driver can crash when calling glDrawArrays on first unity initialization.

See the attached stacktrace

  [ Adam Conrad ]
  * Removed debian/patches/libgeis-rename.patch

  [ Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak ]
  * debian/rules:

      libunity-protocol-private.so
  * debian/unity.lintian-overrides,

      we are forced to use RPATH in our case

Hello Marco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/5.16.0-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
