Yep, I hit that as well 2.5 weeks ago when I started using xmir: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-system-compositor/+bug/1210798 Aside from the lack of proper multi-monitor support and that bug I haven't had any other problems or seen much difference. It has worked as reliably and smoothly as before. I'm actually using external monitor, but the Mir's default mirror mode has been enough while waiting for this new support which I'll try out now. -Timo -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

Not the versions he's testing. Bugs against PPA packages aren't bugs against Ubuntu and shouldn't be filed that way.

Dmitrijs Ledkovs [2013-08-26 23:11 +0100]:
I got a crash report from unity-system-compositor, but I cannot report
the bug about it because This is not an official Ubuntu package. Can
apport configuration please be correctly set in the packages from that
repository to allow reporting bugs to launchpad?
If you want to do that the PPA package should ship an Apport hook
which changes the bug DB, to stop the not an Ubuntu pkg check.
If the MIR team actually wants PPA package reports against the Ubuntu
project, the hook can simply do
report['CrashDB'] = 'ubuntu'
If it wants reports go to some LP project only if the package comes
from a PPA, you can do something like
if not apport.packaging.is_distro_package('unity-system-compositor'):
report['CrashDB'] = '{impl: launchpad, project: lp-project-name}'
See /usr/share/doc/apport/package-hooks.txt.gz for details.
