Hi, If you're connecting any Mir client (which Xmir is) to Unity8 (the Mir server) then Unity8 requires the client to jump through an extra hoop: Xmir :0 --desktop_file_hint=unity8
This is a peculiarity of Unity8. Sorry about that. ** Tags added: xmir ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516218 Title: xmir fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1516218/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
