| Walther_ | Hello folks! Just did do-release-upgrade -d to saucy and followed isntall instructions on how to install Mir. However, now I'm getting no "unity" - no top bar, no sidebar, but desktop shows and i can fire up terminals via ctrl-alt-t and so forth | 11:41 |
|---|---|---|
| Walther_ | Also, the display is running in pretty low res | 11:41 |

| Walther | on the suggested "sudo mir_demo_server", i get the following, pehaps hinting at problems: | 11:42 |
| Walther | ERROR: /build/buildd/mir-0.0.6bzr848saucy0/src/server/graphics/gbm/gbm_display_helpers.cpp(284): Throw in function int mir::graphics::gbm::helpers::DRMHelper::open_drm_device(const mir::graphics::gbm::helpers::UdevHelper&) | 11:42 |
| Walther | Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<std::runtime_error> > | 11:42 |
| Walther | std::exception::what: Error opening DRM device | 11:42 |
| Walther | [boost::errinfo_errno_*] = -13, "Unknown error -13" | 11:42 |
| Walther | Help very much appreciated! | 11:43 |
| Walther | Also, walther@doppio:~$ grep -i xmir /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 11:52 |
| Walther | [ 8.668] xorg-server 2:1.14.1-0ubuntu0.8+xmir1 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) | 11:52 |
| Walther | [ 8.678] (WW) "xmir" is not to be loaded by default. Skipping. | 11:52 |
| mlankhorst | Walther: hybrid, by any chance? | 11:57 |
| Walther | Nope, pure 7970 only desktop | 11:57 |
| Walther | core2quad -> no integrated graphics | 11:57 |
| mlankhorst | is the dri node in use by any chance? lsof /dev/dri/* | 11:58 |
| Walther | Will have a haswell w/ igpu soon when my new parts arrive, but that's another matter | 11:58 |
| Walther | mlankhorst: empty | 11:58 |
| Walther | er, empty response, that is | 11:58 |
| Walther | I'm pretty sure i'm not getting mir at all, from Xorg.0.log [ 8.678] (WW) "xmir" is not to be loaded by default. Skipping. | 11:59 |
| Walther | also the ps aux grep compositor thingy returns nothing but the grep command itself | 11:59 |
| Walther | Not afraid of cli/techy stuff, if you have any ideas on where to look / what to try, just mention | 12:01 |
| Walther | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-unity-system-compositor.conf has the appropriate lines | 12:02 |
| Walther | mlankhorst: further ideas, by any chance? | 12:06 |
| mlankhorst | not atm, is that southern islands? :P | 12:15 |
| mlankhorst | and does it work with normal X? | 12:16 |
| Walther | Tahiti, and worked fine on 13.04 | 12:17 |
| Walther | w/ fglrx at least | 12:18 |
| Walther | but logging in with this 13.10 + mir install -> a desktop without bars/dash and low res | 12:18 |
| Walther | Hm, apparently by launching gnome-control-center I could adjust the screen res to right. But I think I'm not running mir, and yeah, unity/dash are mising | 12:22 |
| Walther | Ha, dconf reset -f /org/compiz did the trick | 12:23 |
| Walther | of getting bars back. | 12:23 |
| Walther | Still not sure I'm having mir though. | 12:23 |
| Walther | ...yeah, still getting [ 9.099] (WW) "xmir" is not to be loaded by default. Skipping. | 12:26 |
| mlankhorst | fglrx won't work with mir | 12:26 |
| Walther | Also, graphics rendering is slow - moving windows around, typing text, etc | 12:26 |
| Walther | mlankhorst: Yeah, I removed proprietary drivers as per instructions | 12:26 |
| Walther | on the foss drivers atm afaik | 12:26 |
| mlankhorst | yeah you have a southern islands chip, most support is in saucy atm except for the ddx :P | 12:27 |
| Walther | I am running saucy :) | 12:27 |
| mlankhorst | so you'd need to recompile xserver-xorg-video-ati yourself with glamor enabled for it to work | 12:27 |
| Walther | but yeah, i'm running saucy, so you said the support should be there | 12:29 |
| mlankhorst | most support, but you need all support.. | 12:29 |
| Walther | Ah | 12:29 |
| Walther | hmm, i wonder if xorg-edgers would help | 12:30 |
| Walther | Or would that just completely break all chances of mir workigng? | 12:30 |
| Walther | -g | 12:30 |
| mlankhorst | if you want mir on that card you need to build glamor support in the xserver-xorg-video-ati source of the mir ppa | 12:32 |
| Walther | hnggh, are you absolutely sure that's the only option for now? | 12:33 |
| Walther | i can't find any documentation on the matter | 12:34 |
| Walther | (of course at early testing / development phases there *isn't* often documentation...) | 12:34 |
| * mlankhorst points at the 'need' | 12:35 | |
| Walther | Sigh... Well, thanks for help! | 12:35 |
| Walther | I'll probably purge the mir repo and revert back to "just" 13.10 then, and see how / when things progress | 12:35 |
| Walther | Should I file a bug or something on Tahiti / Southern island support? | 12:36 |
| Walther | (and mir compatibility, that is) | 12:36 |
| mlankhorst | it's the same as normal xorg-server in this case, if normal xorg-server works, mir-ified xserver would probably work too | 12:40 |
| arsson | u-s-c nouveau support? When...? | 12:47 |
| mlankhorst | dno, wrote it ages ago | 13:12 |
