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 (version 0.24.0) [2016-10-27 13:29:27.411185] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mir:mesa-kms (version 0.24.0) Failed to parse command line options: option '--vt' cannot be specified more than once. usage: /usr/sbin/unity-system-compositor [options] ... Sounds like either an old out of date unity-system-compositor is installed or something else completely is throwing that exception. I can't seem to make unity-system-compositor fail in a cryptic way like yours. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634412 Title: Unity8 session fails to start due to unity-system-compositor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1634412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
