Mesa in Ubuntu has a patch for i915 that disables OpenGL 2.0 but not GLES 2,0. Thats why all mir clients and the unity8 session starts up.. since mirserver always use GL|ES.
Regular qt clients do the EGL init in a different path and they insist on GL 2.0. When you recompile mesa without that patch you get the unity8 desktop but it is just too slow.. It would be better to implement a less demanding QtQuick backend .. and/or use a different mir compositor.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549455 Title: Unity 8/Mir doesn't load on Intel Pineview graphics Status in Mir: Invalid Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug Makes the pc UNUSABLE when I try to launch Unity 8 and Mir, after writing the password on the login (in the image attached) the bar to enter the password disappears and my computer screen stays stuck without them let me do anything. the connection begins to separate and reattach alone and I can only move the cursor. it makes the computer unusable and I am forced to restart forced to then enter into Unity 7. represented in the screenshot is the lock status after entering the password.
