Mir's default is already $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket. (Also, it's correct that /run/mir_socket is not for apps - it's only for unity8 to connect to u-s-c as a guest (nested) compositor. )
However, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR cannot be used for the u-s-c, as it'd be against the XDG spec to have rw permissions for non-root on the directory, so phablet user (which unity8 runs as) would not be able to access it. I am guessing that's why lightdm is not using the default already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mir in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327139 Title: mirscreencast broke (moved socket) in #71 Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in Mir: Invalid Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “phablet-tools” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Since the mir_socket moved from /tmp to /var/run, mirscreencast broke. $ adb shell mirscreencast -n 1 Failed to connect to server.
