** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ LightDM reports the system compositor socket to Mir clients using the
MIR_SOCKET variable. This stopped working in Mir 0.21. The Mir team says the
correct variable is MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET and MIR_SOCKET was a fallback to
that.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Start LightDM with a Mir greeter
+
+ Expected result:
+ Greeter starts
+
+ Observed result:
+ Mir greeter fails to start. It is attempting to access the video drivers
directly (i.e. not through a compositor).
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Risk of using LightDM with older version of Mir that doesn't support
MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET. Risk of behaviour change in Mir using
MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET.
