As I mentioned before, the failures shown in both the errors.u.c reports (and which are really confusing, I don't really trust the backtraces to be correct there, they don't make much sense) and the original backtrace, just indicate that that the server has died and the clients fail to communicate with it.
So I take this bug as a request to make the failures more graceful on the client side (as much as we can). -- 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/1347053 Title: Clients are crashing with a fatal exception in MirSocketRpcChannel::send_message() Status in Mir: Triaged Status in Mir 0.5 series: Won't Fix Status in Mir 0.6 series: Triaged Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-system-compositor” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Starting unity8 when u-s-c is running results in them fighting over the hardware (not for the socket due to the default XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) and u-s-c crashing.
