@David, please look at /etc/pam.d/common-session. Do you by chance have libpam-cgm rather than libpam-cgfs there? libpam-cgfs does not require cgmanager running
On the other hand if unity8 itself requires it, then that's that. And yeah, i guess I do have cgmanager running on my laptop, so I've not tested it without. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535058 Title: applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash Status in cgmanager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-app-launch package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: xenial applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok. what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes instantly in ~0.3s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cgmanager/+bug/1535058/+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
