The graphics experience is in fallback mode for me. And I checked the settings and it says the graphics driver is Chromium. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 in a virtual box. I didn't like unity much. So reverted from it long back. and it was working fine till now.

How do I fix the issue. No desktop effects is working now!

Note:
Host OS Windows 7
Graphics ATI Radeon HD series
Virtual box version 4.1.6
Another Guest OS Ubuntu Is working fine..

  • Have you tried re-installing the virtual box guest-additions for the virtual machine? After a downgrade it might be necessary to re-install them if you haven't used dkms during the first install which automatically rebuilds the virtualbox kernel module in case the kernel version changes due to down/up-grade

  • Have you changed something on your main desktop which runs virtual box that could be affecting the use of vb additions within ? Also, why not try 12.10 beta inside VB since it has Unity running 3d effects all the time, even without proper 3d drivers it reverts to software usage...

    Please add the following to your question: host OS, graphics card, virtualbox version and source. Also, what did you do before it stopped working?

Check that your virtual machine still has the option "Enable 3D Acceleration" checked (in VMs settings -> Display).
