[Bug 1668429] Re: X apps (LibreOffice, Thunderbird) fail to launch with failure to open display (no Xmir is running)
In that case we'll actually have one Xmir process per app (which is probably OK for resources). That's more elegant, and more secure, than trying to hack Xmir to emit multiple connections to the Mir server. And it works right now without modifying code. Also, it appears you can uniquely identify an Xmir instance to the shell already using 'Xmir -mir '. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668429 Title: X apps (LibreOffice, Thunderbird) fail to launch with failure to open display (no Xmir is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1668429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1668429] Re: X apps (LibreOffice, Thunderbird) fail to launch with failure to open display (no Xmir is running)
Nope, shared Xmir not a solution, we need each client to connect in a separate session, to securely identify it. And there's security considerations for that as well. Not to mention gtk, for example, just probes available display servers and uses the first one that works, which could very well result in them running under X, when they should run natively. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668429 Title: X apps (LibreOffice, Thunderbird) fail to launch with failure to open display (no Xmir is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1668429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If we could get a fix for bug 1577641 then this would be easy to solve (in the most efficient way): Just start an 'Xmir -rootless ...' at login. That way you don't need custom launcher magic for every X app to start an X server. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668429 Title: X apps (LibreOffice, Thunderbird) fail to launch with failure to open display (no Xmir is running) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1668429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
