[Bug 1634412] Re: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor
Here is a copy of my unity-system-compositor.sleep. A failed upgrade is possible: before I upgraded to 16.10, I tried purging a few PPAs because they are often problematic and purging the overlay-ppa proved very difficult (ended up chasing the word "overlay" in Synaptic to completely remove any trace). Currently, my version of unity-system-compositor is 0.7.1+16.10.20160909.1-0ubuntu1 and Synaptic marks it as the latest version. ** Attachment added: "unity-system-compositor.sleep" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-system-compositor/+bug/1634412/+attachment/4768090/+files/unity-system-compositor.sleep -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634412 Title: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1634412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Also, I don't know if there is an overlay-ppa for 16.10, but if there is, I did not install it on my machine, so I should be using pure 16.10 repos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634412 Title: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1634412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note that --on-fatal-error-abort is not a valid option, and just causes a warning to be emitted. And if you specify a valid option twice, it should tell you explicitly: $ /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor --vt 8 --vt 8 [2016-10-27 13:29:27.409922] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mir:mesa-x11 (version 0.24.0) [2016-10-27 13:29:27.411185] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mir:mesa-kms (version 0.24.0) Failed to parse command line options: option '--vt' cannot be specified more than once. usage: /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor [options] ... Sounds like either an old out of date unity-system-compositor is installed or something else completely is throwing that exception.

[Bug 1634412] Re: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor
Most likely this is an upgrade and/or upgrade+PPA problem.

Please attach a copy of /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor.sleep from the affected machine.

Is there any more log I can provide that could shed a light on this? This bug is very easily reproducible on my computer, so I should be able to provide relevant logs! My computer is not a fresh install and has been upgraded every step of the way since 14.10. I'll try a LiveUSB of 16.10 to see if the problem persists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634412 Title: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1634412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1634412] Re: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor
I can't reproduce any such problem on a pure 16.10 install. The error: what(): option cannot be specified more than once implies that your lightdm is passing an extra option when it executes the unity-system-compositor command. ** Also affects: lightdm Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634412 Title: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1634412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
