Binary package hint: unity

Installed Unity from Ubuntu Lucid by doing this:-
1. Added PPA - ppa:canGoonical-dx-team/une
2. Installed Unity - sudo apt-get install unity ubuntu-netbook-unity-default-settings

Launch:-
Started unity by logging out of session, and then selected Ubuntu netbook edition from Login screen

Test Machine:-
All my packages are upto date and I use a dell E1705 (also called 9400) Intel machine with ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card.

Unity Version:- 0.2.10-0ubuntu1~lucid1

Error:-
Entering my password and going to netbook edition, showed a blank screen. Luckily i had cairo dock in startup and was able to launch a terminal. From terminal, typing this..showed unity for a second and crashed.

Error Log:-

I also had this problem on an Intel 945GME card, specifically on an Acer Aspire One AOA110-1545. And I had it even very late in the Unity development cycle, days before Ubuntu 10.10's final release.

Please, do not reopen unrelated bug, especially with different graphical card;

You card is known to get some issues with unity, you can refer to other unity bugs (there is one about your card).
