Comment 57 for bug 1071530

This bug is not ressolved!
I can only classify its current status as "Gentlemen, the ice has shifted (a bit)". The Unity desktop still shows wallpaper only, and decorations are absent.

Have exactly same situation as OP.
Environiment:
Ubuntu 13.04, 32bit, stock install. lshw of machine attached.

Installed on other machine with radeon opensource driver, then transfered to Intel machine -- situation.

After reading, I updated via Xorg-Edgers PPA. They have MESA 9.2 right now. The results are almost same.

Improvements:
Right now, glxinfo runs fine, glxgears shows gears. Thats all.

Breakages:
Situation in Unity is NOT improved. Same old wallpaper-only desktop, decorations are absent, window manager (compiz) dead.

When I try to run ccsm, "OpenGL", "Composite" and "Unity" extensions are not enabled.
I can successfully tick "Composite", but anything else unticks after few seconds.

I attached the results of "compiz --replace"

When I try to run "unity-support-test", I get segfault. I have attached the gdb log.

I was able to install xfce and run it, however I experience corruption of window borders, when composite mode is enabled.

I have found similar bugs, that link to this case:

:: This one happens precisely, after adding lastest mesa 9.2 by means of xorg-edgers or manual compilation

:: This seems to be duplicate of this bug.

I have not tried to downgrade to Mesa 8.xx yet, but I choose 13.04 exactly because I wanted newer fixes of i915. In old Mesa 8 and kernel 3.2 with xcompmgr enabled (LXDE), my machine was simply deepfreezing, tty switch didn't work at all.

PLEASE REOPEN BUG!
