Just tried booting today's daily build 06 June on an IBM ThinkCentre with Intel i845G graphics. It won't do Natty 3D at all but runs Natty 2D fine.

Booted up, message was:
"Oh, No, something went wrong. Please log out and log in again"

Guess what. The default desktop is listed as
Ubuntu
which of course won't/can't work on the i845G.

Changed it to:
Ubuntu 2D

which is up and running with all today's usual warts of course like Gnome-user-share crash.

So now I've got two machines that won't/can't boot 3D, and for both of them booting 06 June should go right on to boot Unity 2D but don't. Some code is noticing they won't run Ubuntu 3D, that's true, and instead of letting it default to Unity 2D goes in and tries to set it to Ubuntu, namely Unity 3D, which won't work, and not even that the .iso doesn't have to code.

Now I have two test pc's which will run 3D. They boot .iso up in 2D like they should. The two test pc's that won't/can't run 3D are somehow getting set to default desktop
Ubuntu
which won't work.

When I do log in changing the Ubuntu to Ubuntu 2D all four pc's run O.K. for an Alpha.
