Title: clients crash with "UbuntuClientIntegration: connection to Mir server failed." Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: New Status in qtubuntu package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: According to https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/bcb050f97778eb836056c1c48139bcde30ed0bcb it seems to be common-ish. This happens when unity8-dash can't find unity8 (mir server) and crashing (via QFatal) is our controlled way of exiting (not very clean, but it is how it is)[1]. This will happen for example if you try to start unity8-dash directly (not through upstart) from a ssh shell in the phone, i.e phablet-shell stop unity8-dash unity8-dash And it may happen after a unity8 crash. In general we think that it's not a pressing issue users have since there seems to have not been any report of unity8-dash failing to start, but we're creating this bug to track it from time to time and make sure it doesn't get worse. [1] Qt platform plugins (also know as QPA) don't have a way to say they had a problem initiating themselves, Qt code is prepared for the QPlatformIntegrationPlugin::create() function to return, but all it does when that happens is call qFatal anyway [2] [2] http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/gui/kernel/qguiapplication.cpp#n1132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtbase-opensource-src/+bug/1655936/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-bugs Post to : ubuntu-sdk-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
