Very nice survey! I have just completed it, I'm looking forward to seeing
the final results!

Hi Dave,

thanks for taking the time to report this. Details are important :)
I'm not familiar with the codebase, but I tracked down the bug to be in the
package network-manager-applet.

Would you please file a bug?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet
Click on "Report a bug" on the right ^

Cheers,
Andrea

Thanks Timo,
I eventually realized that and installed Wily alongside Xenial. Let's see
how it goes there :)

Hi Steffen,

I was also setting up a machine with AMD GPUs just yesterday and ended up
having the same problems.
I managed to get the DKMS module to build though, using the patches from
https://github.com/kolasa/fglrx-15.30.1025
but that wasn't enough, the setup still doesn't get past the lightdm login
screen.

Running Xorg -configure fails with "Failed to load module fglrxdrm"...

I'll spend some more time on it this evening, let's see if I manage to get
anywhere :)

Br,
Andrea

I think the best way to try Unity8 at the moment is to:
- setup Xenial 16.04
- install unity8-desktop-session-mir

and then ask on IRC if you still can't get it to boot

Hope that helps,
Andrea

Help!

You might want to give Unity8 a try :)
