Hrm. So to reproduce, install unity8 on the desktop and then: 1) sudo gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set com.canonical.unity.AccountsService demo-edges '<true>' 2) gsettings set com.canonical.Unity8 usage-mode Staged
(Replace 1000 in step #1 with your UID.) The problem is that the tutorial is thus fooled about what mode we're running in (it thinks tablet/phone). The left-edge tutorial bits assume a touch screen. And they don't run in desktop mode (when there is at least one pointer). So everything *should* work, except that usage-mode was overridden. I think since we no longer treat the gsettings value as a user-setting (unity8 will override it at will), we should re-evaluate it on startup. That should avoid this particular scenario. -- 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/1564351 Title: "Swipe from the left edge to open the launcher" - do not work on the desktop Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Can not unlock my desktop, swipe is not work.
