Title: [xmir] Unity doesn't start on ATI test machine (Mir fails to respond to drm_auth_magic request) Status in Mir: Incomplete Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Sometimes when running on the i386 ATI jenkins box, XMir hangs when Compiz is started. When it's hung, it's blocked in DRI2Authenticate, in mir_wait_for on the results of mir_drm_auth_magic. Applying http://paste.ubuntu.com/5983202/ to Mir to debug this, we get: Client output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5981035/ Server output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5981019/ So it appears that the second drm_auth_magic request is written to the socket but Mir never responds to it. I have no idea why, though. When I attached gdb to unity-system- compositor in the hung case there didn't seem to be any deadlocked thread or the like; everything seemed to be waiting on input. ==== Original report ==== The log files are deceptive - the error comes from the failsafe X session which is started for some reason. LightDM, unity-system-compositor, and XMir all come up fine and have no unexpected log output. gnome-session.log, however, has """ I/O error : Bad file descriptor /usr/share/compiz/place.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty ^ /usr/share/compiz/place.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found ^ I/O error : Bad file descriptor compizconfig - Info: Backend : gsettings compizconfig - Info: Integration : true compizconfig - Info: Profile : unity compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: composite compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: composite compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: opengl (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:10828): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 10828 compiz (core) - Info: Unity is fully supported by your hardware. compiz (core) - Info: Unity is not supported by your hardware.
