2016-10-27 Thread Guillaume F
Here is a copy of my unity-system-compositor.sleep. A failed upgrade is possible: before I upgraded to 16.10, I tried purging a few PPAs because they are often problematic and purging the overlay-ppa proved very difficult (ended up chasing the word "overlay" in Synaptic to completely remove any t

Also, I don't know if there is an overlay-ppa for 16.10, but if there is, I did not install it on my machine, so I should be using pure 16.10 repos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/163441

Note that --on-fatal-error-abort is not a valid option, and just causes a warning to be emitted. And if you specify a valid option twice, it should tell you explicitly: $ /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor --vt 8 --vt 8 [2016-10-27 13:29:27.409922] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mir:mesa-x11

Most likely this is an upgrade and/or upgrade+PPA problem. Please try pure Ubuntu 16.10. ** Changed in: lightdm Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: unity-system-compositor Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You recei

Please attach a copy of /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor.sleep from the affected machine. I'm surprised boost::program_options doesn't provide more information but we can investigate that separately... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subsc

If your copy of /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor.sleep is the same as mine then the full command is: /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor --disable-inactivity-policy=true --on-fatal-error-abort --file '/run/mir_socket' --from-dm-fd 12 --to-dm-fd 21 --vt 8 -- You received this bug notification be

Is there any more log I can provide that could shed a light on this? This bug is very easily reproducible on my computer, so I should be able to provide relevant logs! My computer is not a fresh install and has been upgraded every step of the way since 14.10. I'll try a LiveUSB of 16.10 to see if

I can't reproduce any such problem on a pure 16.10 install. The error: what(): option cannot be specified more than once implies that your lightdm is passing an extra option when it executes the unity-system-compositor command. ** Also affects: lightdm Importance: Undecided Status:
