No Unity 3d option on the login screen
I upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10 on day one but the unity 3d is not there as an option. I have User Defined, Recovery Mode and Ubuntu 2D.
I've done this test /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
and all results are green YES. Here's the result
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.1.11005 Compatibility Profile Context
Not software rendered: yes
Not blacklisted: yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap: yes
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program: yes
GL fragment program: yes
GL vertex buffer object: yes
GL framebuffer object: yes
GL version is 1.4+: yes
Unity 3D supported: yes
Clear your apt cache
sudo apt-get clean
Install Ubuntu desktop and force a re-install
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
This will install all the packages necessary from the desktop to run, you should see Ubuntu
as an option next time you reboot.
I had a similar problem when running the beta version of 11.10. What I did was go into the software center and search for Unity, uninstall then re install it with all the add-ons listed.
If that doesn't work, try running "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade".
