I have same problem on vivid: unity8 in lxc black screen with cursor on Vivid
I added the unity8-lxc PPA ('http://ppa.launchpad.net/unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-preview-lxc/ubuntu vivid main'), installed unity8-lxc and then used `sudo unity8-lxc-setup` and `sudo unity8-lxc-setup --rebuild-all` ... black screen with mouse arrow ... power off to reboot. sudo unity8-lxc-setup --update-lxc ... failed with errors like in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-lxc/+bug/1418671 sudo -i and unity8-lxc-setup --update-lxc completed ok after reboot on LightDM I selected unity8 in lxc, entered password ... black screen with mouse arrow. the arrow follows the mouse, but I was unable to do anything. CTRL+F1 has no effect, power off to reboot. According suggestion in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-desktop-session/+bug/1320356 I attach some logs created at logon with unity 8 in lxc in: /var/log/lightdm/ ** Attachment added: "lightdm.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8-preview-lxc/+bug/1437900/+attachment/4391010/+files/lightdm.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437900 Title: Black screen with cursor on Trusty hosts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8-preview-lxc/+bug/1437900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
