[10:41] <slvn> hello ! I have built a snap package app (amd64, 16.04), based on SDL2, with mir back-end compiled. I am wondering if someone using mir could give a try. It should take less than 1 min.
[10:41] <slvn> basically:  sudo snap install tic-tac-toe
[10:42] <slvn> (In I fact, I pretty sure it won't work, because I have forced the software rendering ... )
[13:05] <Tak> ok, so I got a unity8 session going inside kvm
[13:07] <Tak> is the ubuntu-mobile-ish ui expected? or do I need to configure something to run with xmir?
[13:24] <anpok> Tak: the ui depends on the input devices attached.. you should get a mobilish ui with unity8 dash.. and very few apps..
[13:24] <Tak> ok, that's expected then
[13:24] <anpok> so by default you should get the unity8 ui in desktop mode ..you might be able to toggle to tablet mode too
[13:25] <Tak> how do I tell what mode it thinks it's in?
[13:26] <anpok> tablet mode means stuff is in fullscreen.. and you also have a side stage .. but to see that you need to have some apps running
[13:27] <anpok> the desktop mode has window decorations..
[13:27] <Tak> ok, I have desktop mode then
[13:37] <Tak> I guess it's also expected that I can't install packages from the store in desktop mode? (ala https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-desktop-session/+bug/1371820 )
[13:39] <anpok> .. unfortunate.. but still true.. I am not sure what is missing - different construction site..
