Well its a bug in U8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1675448
Theres not really a workaround I could do (with out a pretty bad hack). So this patch will *not* specifically work on U8 until that bug is fixed. Though it'll still be good to get this landed. Ill put a testing patch that will just return true that you can connect to the mir server with out attempting to connect. This will allow it to work on U8 but wont fallback to x11 (which is why I need that connection check). ** Patch added: "mir-support.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/1432741/+attachment/4843785/+files/mir-support.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432741 Title: [FFe] sdl1.2 needs mir support patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libsdl1.2/+bug/1432741/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
