Public bug reported: I'm trying to run gedit in a Vivid + overlay PPA desktop session using Xmir from the overlay PPA using the '-rootless -flatten' Xmir options. Gedit fails to start in this situation. If I use Compiz as the WM, then gedit starts.
I've attached the application and unity8 log files. This may be a Unity 8 issue as well since it is rejected the connection in this scenario. The same issue occurs when trying to run xchat as well. ** Affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: xmir ** Attachment added: "application-legacy-puritine_gedit_0.0-.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501333/+attachment/4479947/+files/application-legacy-puritine_gedit_0.0-.log ** Also affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501333 Title: Gedit & xchat fail to start w/ Xmir running in '-rootless -flatten' mode Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm trying to run gedit in a Vivid + overlay PPA desktop session using Xmir from the overlay PPA using the '-rootless -flatten' Xmir options.
