Title: Unity8 on Vivid doesn't boot, due to old unity8-desktop-session-mir in Vivid archive Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a fresh vivid setup, installing unity8-desktop-session-mir doesn't pull in the platform and client packages required to be able to run unity8 I had to install mir-client-platform-mesa3 mir-platform-graphics-mesa-km7 mir-platform-input-evdev4 PS I have the Overlay PPA installed, unity8-desktop-session-mir is version 1.0.12+15.04.20150309-0ubuntu1 (which is really old, and could be the cause of these issues!) UPDATE: turns out it's because vivid has an old version of the package (March 2015) and unity8-desktop-session-mir added a dependency to Mir graphics drivers in June 2015 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-desktop-session/trunk/revision/79.2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1538659/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
