Hey, I just tried this on vivid, and seems to work fine. On first boot it does take a while to complete, but it does start.
There is a bug where the dash starts a little too early and unity8 misses it, that you can fix by SSHing into the emulator and going "restart unity8-dash". ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396919 Title: unity8 display blank in emulator, host utopic, rtm-14.09 instance.
