Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

After last "apt-get dist-upgrade" the problems has disappeared :)

Upgraded package:

Thanks!

Just installed 3.16.0-6 .iso and upgraded today to 3.16.0-10.

Both kernels are in /boot.

If I select 3.16.0-10 boots to desktop, from past investigations that means compiz failed and hence unity failed.

If I select 3.16.0-6 boots just fine, 3D and all.

Since it's the same install, everything else in utopic is the same, just one kernel boots fine and the other does not.

BTW, once in many many tries 3.16.0-10 does boot. That's how a race condition would behave, depending on what code gets past a certain point versus other code.

This one runs:

Linux Lenovo2 3.16.0-6-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 28 01:59:56 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz

BTW, utopic 32 bit runs fine, compiz, unity and all. Lubuntu amd64 runs fine, no surprise, no compiz.

Will boot the failing 3.16.0-10 and get it's LSPCI.

[jerrylamos (jerrylamos)]

Rebooted selecting 3.16.0-10 kernel and compiz and unity failed like they have been since 3.16.0-7.

Failing uname -a:

Linux Lenovo2 3.16.0-10-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 21 16:26:44 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Just did apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade 27 August. No help on this Lenovo ThinkCentre

[jerrylamos (jerrylamos)]

Still trying to get 3.16.0-10 to run unity on Intel Core 2 Duo.

Many boots yesterday, just one time 3.16.0-10 ran just fine with 3D hardware support. All the rest, I assume "compiz" has decided that the hardware does not support 3D. It does.

Viewing all this as a "black box", what's going on inside is a defective test by compiz.

I put in a /etc/grub.d/06_custom to boot the -6 kernel on power up. The -10 is available for testing. apt-get update didn't find anything so no use running -10.
