Ubuntu 11.10 Virtual-box Unity 3D not working
- by naveen
After struggling for four hours, I still cannot get Unity 3D of Gnome 3 to work on my VirtualBox - I have been pouring through Internet and forum posts but to no avail.
Here's what I've done so far:
VirtualBox 4.1.4r74921 on Windows 7
Installed Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 ( 32 bit )
Enabled 3D acceleration
Allocated 1.5GB of RAM
Allocated 50MB video memory (hope this is not the culprit)
Installed Guest edition 4.1.4
Did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade
Booted back in to Ubuntu - falls back to Unity 2D
Shared folder, mouse integration all works, so guest edition is properly installed
Tried the command and below is the output
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test –p
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.11
Not software rendered: no
Not blacklisted: yes
GLX fbconfig: yes
GLX texture from pixmap: no
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: no
I am trying to find what the "no" means but cannot find any good answers.
Inter Core i5 processor
4GB of RAM on the host
Display adapter: NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS
Is anyone else facing the same problem? If so, can you point me to a solution or any reference where I can find a solution?
