| mlankhorst | what do I need for setting up lightdm correctly to run unity8 on a normal ubuntu install? | 11:13 |
| alan_g | mlankhorst: http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/using_mir_on_pc.html (I hope it is up to date - I've not used if for ages) | 11:17 |
| mlankhorst | i don't think it is | 11:18 |
| alan_g | What happens? | 11:21 |
| alan_g | mzanetti: IIRC you've used unity8 desktop recently. ^^ | 11:22 |
| mlankhorst | I've installed unity8-desktop-session-mir, but it fails to spawn a native mir session | 11:23 |
| * mzanetti reads | 11:23 | |
| mzanetti | mlankhorst: hmm... that should work. I didn't do anything special. | 11:24 |
| mzanetti | mlankhorst: try to first log in into a unity7 session, then logout again and relogin to the unity8 session | 11:24 |
| mzanetti | that seems to improve chances of a successful start | 11:24 |
| mzanetti | it is still a bit flaky | 11:24 |
| mzanetti | mlankhorst: I've heard of people with nvidia cards having issues. I'm using an Intel one | 11:25 |

| desrt | RAOF: 'just use the journal'? | 14:22 |
| desrt | RAOF: otherwise i guess a callback is fine | 14:22 |
| mlankhorst | btw does the unity8 session run fullscreen on mir? | 14:22 |
| greyback | mlankhorst: yes it does | 14:25 |
| mlankhorst | so if I create a Xmir window there, it will be hidden by the u8 session? | 14:25 |
| greyback | yes, if that mir client is connecting to unity-system-compositor. But if you connect it to unity8 (MIR_SOCKET=$SDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket) it should appear in unity8 | 14:30 |
| greyback | you'll need to append "--desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/some-desktop-file.desktop" to the process, else it won't be accepted | 14:30 |
| greyback | as unity8 is strict, and requires either upstart to launch the app, or else that command line arg appended to the command | 14:31 |
| mlankhorst | ah | 14:35 |
| mlankhorst | would that explain the broken pipe? :P | 14:35 |
| mlankhorst | where can I find that in the source :p | 14:41 |
| greyback | that policy is defined in lp:qtmir:/src/modules/Unity/Application/application_manager.cpp:ApplicationManager::authorizeSession | 14:46 |
| mlankhorst | ok | 14:49 |
| mlankhorst | thanks | 14:49 |
| seb128 | hey | 14:53 |
| seb128 | is it possible to start a demo mir server somewhere while keeping the an xorg/unity7 session running? | 14:53 |
| seb128 | I tried to "sudo mir_demo_server_shell --vt 1" and switch to vt1 but I couldn't come back (or there is a bug with my i965 which bugged the machine) | 14:54 |
| greyback | seb128: that used to work, lemme try | 14:55 |
| seb128 | greyback, thanks | 14:56 |
| === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk | ||
| greyback | seb128: yep worked here | 15:00 |
| greyback | seb128: ctrl+alt+backspace quits the mir server | 15:01 |
| greyback | as it tends to ignore Crtl+C in the console that started it | 15:01 |
| seb128 | greyback, thanks | 15:02 |
| seb128 | greyback, can you ctrl-alt-f1 ctrl-alt-f7 to switch between mir and unity7? | 15:02 |
| greyback | seb128: yes | 15:02 |
| seb128 | greyback, k, thanks for that and for the email ;-) | 15:06 |
| greyback | seb128: thought it might be handy | 15:06 |
| seb128 | it is indeed :-) | 15:07 |
| greyback | seb128: while I've got you, somehow unity7 isn't showing up as an option in my lightdm Greeter. Only unity8 is there. ubuntu-desktop is installed. Any ideas? | 15:07 |
| seb128 | greyback, install ubuntu-session | 15:07 |
| desrt | seb128: getting the server working is another issue... | 15:07 |
| desrt | seb128: you need to change ownership of the socket and symlink it to the correct location in your user's xdg_runtime_dir (or set env variables to work around) | 15:08 |
| greyback | seb128: it is installed | 15:08 |
| seb128 | greyback, weird then, is "unity" installed? | 15:09 |
| greyback | yep, it is | 15:09 |
| seb128 | hum | 15:09 |
| greyback | I'm a tad confused | 15:09 |
| greyback | but it's not end of world, it's my unity8 desktop machine anyway | 15:09 |
| seb128 | do you have anything useful in /var/log/lightdm/ ? | 15:09 |
| === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun | ||
| seb128 | x-0-greeter.log | 15:09 |
| seb128 | desrt, do you know if there is a wikipage or something about the socket thing? | 15:10 |
| mlankhorst | that the greeter doesn't use mir makes things hard for me. :P | 15:10 |
| desrt | seb128: no. i don't. | 15:10 |
| desrt | seb128: unfortunately this is sort of something that everyone has to discover for themseelves.... | 15:10 |
| desrt | seb128: also: you need to run the server as root | 15:10 |
| seb128 | desrt, the email I crossed had those instructions | 15:11 |
| * desrt has burned half an hour or so figuring these things out, twice (after having forgot the first round) | 15:11 | |
| seb128 | sudo mir_demo_server_shell --vt 1 | 15:11 |
| seb128 | sudo env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket | 15:11 |
| desrt | oh. nice. | 15:11 |
| seb128 | the second command is missing the <command> | 15:11 |
| desrt | that's a strange combination of environment variables :) | 15:11 |
| seb128 | but you are saying that's not going to be enough? | 15:11 |
| desrt | you need to change ownership of the socket if you wnat to connect as a normal user | 15:11 |
| seb128 | k | 15:12 |
| seb128 | I'm fine running the command under sudo | 15:12 |
| seb128 | but thanks for the hint | 15:12 |
| * desrt has had a couple of outstanding requests to improve the situation here... | 15:12 | |
| desrt | seb128: 'don't gtk as root' ;) | 15:12 |
| seb128 | desrt, on a test laptop EDONTCARE ;-) | 15:12 |
| * greyback has todo item to write up this stuff, sorry hasn't got it done | 15:13 | |
| seb128 | that would be useful | 15:13 |
| seb128 | http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/ doesn't have a lot of useful user informations | 15:13 |
| mlankhorst | it seems to be hard to run your own unity8 currently.. | 15:14 |
| mlankhorst | at least when not going through lightdm | 15:14 |
| * desrt is reminded that he has been meaning to file some bugs, and does so: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1398038 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1398039 | 15:18 | |

| racarr | Morning | 15:22 |
| greyback | seb128: extremely messy, but here's the biggest of my notes on unity8/mir http://pad.ubuntu.com/using-mir | 15:22 |
| seb128 | greyback, thanks | 15:28 |

| seb128 | https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/318a0132ff5aca50838dfffb9bdbe88d1edebf01 is showing on e.u.c for vivid | 16:22 |
| seb128 | hitting abrt in mir_connection_create_surface() | 16:23 |
| alan_g | kdub: it turns out to be vivid migration detritus | 16:23 |
| seb128 | (just pointing it, dunno if you guys watch e.u.c) | 16:23 |
| alan_g | seb128: not sure where that report originates, but a test called "createing_surface_on_garbage_connection_is_fatal_Test" forking a process that aborts doesn't seem like anything to worry about | 16:47 |
| racarr | New rev for mir-event-2.0 :) | 17:04 |
| seb128 | alan_g, right, it's still generating some noise on the error tracker so would be good to fix/disable | 17:09 |
| alan_g | seb128: I've not looked closely, but we have a number of tests whose purpose is to ensure an abort occurs when required. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't test those scenarios? | 17:12 |
| seb128 | alan_g, hum, no, I just wonder if we could do something to avoid getting e.u.c reports for them | 17:12 |
| seb128 | that's kind of low importance though, so feel free to ignore me ;-) | 17:13 |
| alan_g | If you can suggest a way to do that in Mir I can follow it up. Otherwise... | 17:13 |
| seb128 | good point | 17:14 |
| seb128 | I'm going to investigate if that's possible, thanks ;-) | 17:15 |

| kdub | camako, was thinking about how you mentioned that you were looking through the platform code in trying to not tear down the display system on compositor start/stop | 18:28 |
| kdub | I can point to what android is doing there if that helps | 18:29 |
| kdub | but it seems to mostly be something the server is doing | 18:29 |
| kdub | and perhaps some improvement has to be done to the mesa platform too | 18:29 |
| camako | kdub, thanks. I looked at Android side, and am now looking at the Mesa side which is more involved. | 18:59 |
| kdub | camako, yeah, the android side its easy to keep the display around... iirc, the mesa side has some complication with VT's | 18:59 |
