@Daniel I don't think systemd is to blame, older xenial images worked. Upstart is still in uses as well for example starting/stopping unity8 via /sbin/initctl.
It's the image 40 which is the last one that works. 41 and newer are broken. The diff in packages between 40 and 41 is quite big: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20295674/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604421 Title: Unity 8 fails to start on staging (xenial) on the phone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1604421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
