Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
On a beta natty install with latest upgrades (as of Apr 10 2011 - unity version 3.8.4-0ubuntu1), unity doesn't launch. My laptop is a u30jc, which sports a nvidia optimus card and includes both an intel GMA HD graphics processor and an nvidia geforce 310M. It is weird because on a previous occasion I managed to get Unity working, although I can't seem to do it anymore.
On a console, running unity --reset gives the following output :
WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while resetting the values

Where can I go from there?

Do you have the nvidia's proprietary driver installed?
