Most definitely not the lack of the graphics drivers as I have those installed on my machine and have a working Unity 8 desktop session.
Another data point is that this doesn't occur when running against mir_demo_server, but only when running in a Unity 8 desktop session. I start an Xmir instance using a desktop file like the following: $cat ~/.local/share/applications/xmir-debug.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=XMir Debug Exec=Xmir :1 Type=Application StartupNotify=true X-Ubuntu-Touch=true Then from an ssh session, I do something like: $ DISPLAY=:1 xprop -root I get the following output: _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us", "", "" But after the command is finished, the Xmir window goes away and the error message I put in the description is printed in ~/.cache/upstart /application-legacy-xmir-debug-blah.log. The test program that William attached to this bug also produces the same behavior while in a Unity 8 desktop session. I hope this helps. Also, considering it doesn't occur when running with mir_demo_server, it's probably not a Mir/Xmir issue, but I'm really not sure whose problem it is, but it needs fixing:) -- 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/1481330 Title: Xmir crashes when client closes display Status in Mir: New Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Xmir crashes when a client loses its connection to Xmir, either through XCloseDisplay, or by normal program termination.
