I've just found http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-desktop-session/trunk/revision/79.2.1
That means the unity8-desktop-session-mir that we have on Overlay PPA is too old, that's why it doesn't grab the drivers. (see version in the bug description) ** Description changed: On a fresh vivid setup, installing unity8-desktop-session-mir doesn't pull in the platform and client packages required to be able to run unity8 I had to install mir-client-platform-mesa3 mir-platform-graphics-mesa-km7 mir-platform-input-evdev4 PS I have the Overlay PPA installed, unity8-desktop-session-mir is version 1.0.12+15.04.20150309-0ubuntu1 (which is really old, and could be the cause of these issues!) + + + UPDATE: turns out it's because vivid has an old version of the package (March 2015) and unity8-desktop-session-mir added a dependency to Mir graphics drivers in June 2015 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-desktop-session/trunk/revision/79.2.1 ** Summary changed: - unity8-desktop-session-mir is missing mir-platform-* and mir-client-* dependencies + Unity8 on Vivid doesn't boot, due to old unity8-desktop-session-mir in Vivid archive -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1538659 Title: Unity8 on Vivid doesn't boot, due to old unity8-desktop-session-mir in Vivid archive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1538659/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
