Do you have appropriate for your GPU i386 mesa/GL binaries installed?

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils:i386
$ glxinfo

Should _not_ have Gallium 3D (that's llvmpipe), but e.g. have "Mesa
DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Desktop"

If it's Gallium 3D, you are abusing your CPU to death.

Also note that I have applied a "monkey" patch to tripple the
autopilot timeouts, pull latest ubuntu-test-cases/touch-emulator.

canonistack instances must be configured with at least 2 cpu-cores,
2GB RAM. And I have been using i386 instances. I wonder if I can charm
up the minimum constraints, let me figure this out in juju.

The most smallest / quickest tests that are known to pass are:
address_book_app, friends_app.

There are a few more fixes that i've crowd-sources from my mass bug
file about individual test-failures (see bugs tagged jemjem across
all/any projects). And I'll be working on implementing those tomorrow,
i'm EOD here in europe.

Dimitri.
