[12:59] <Mirv> Unity 8 doesn't come up on staging channel (=xenial). I've crash files but I cannot myself at least see anything meaningful in the upstart logs.
[13:00] <Mirv> unity8-dash log does say UbuntuClientIntegration: connection to Mir server failed. but I'm not sure if it's indicative of anything if the unity8 itself doesn't come up
[13:01] <Mirv> well hmm I wonder if the last line of unity8.log is meaningful: initctl: No such variable: UNITY_MIR_SOCKET
[13:05] <Mirv> I tried UNITY_MIR_SOCKET=/run/mir_socket + initctl set-env --global UNITY_MIR_SOCKET=$UNITY_MIR_SOCKET and I don't get that last line anymore but also nothing on the screen.
[13:06] <Mirv> when starting unity8, it hangs for some while before "Failed to refresh the properties from the handler" is outputted to the log
[13:17] <dandrader> Mirv, is that on phone?
[13:18] <Mirv> dandrader: yes, krillin
[13:18] <Mirv> using ubuntu-touch/staging/bq-aquaris.en which is xenial + xenial overlay, it used to boot in early June at least for me
[13:19] <Mirv> I mean boot = start Unity 8
[13:19] <dandrader> Mirv, is unity-system-compositor up and running?
[13:21] <Mirv> dandrader: yes, and the dots animation i srunning
[13:23] <dandrader> Mirv, I suppose you can also check usc log to see if it got a connection request from unity8
[13:24] <Mirv> dandrader: I can't find unity-system-compositor.log in either .cache/upstart nor /var/log/upstart
[13:25] <dandrader> Mirv,  it's in /var/log/lightdm
[13:26] <Mirv> dandrader: no mention of unity8 at least http://paste.ubuntu.com/20035267/
[13:29] <Mirv> well I do get Opening session session-0 + Closing + Opening (three lines) in the log and a minute later Closing when starting unity8
[13:29] <Mirv> so I guess it got a request but something else failed
[13:33] <Mirv> I'm documenting this at bug #1604421 now
[13:36] <dandrader> Mirv, when are we expected to move to Xenial on phones?
[13:38] <Mirv> dandrader: when all bugs are fixed. the hope would be of course as soon as possible.
[13:38] <Mirv> but "months" could be a good estimate given how much there is to do
[13:38] <dandrader> Mirv, is anyone actively pushing towards that goal?
[13:41] <Mirv> dandrader: everyone is supposed to, within the limits of they have time after all the vivid work (which is difficult). but yes, xenial was made bootable earlier and unity8 worked, it has just now regressed.
[13:42] <Mirv> there could be more clear push though
[13:50] <dandrader> Mirv, could you please add to that bug instructions on how to flash xenial on the phone?
[13:50]  * dandrader never did it before
[13:52] <Mirv> dandrader: added
[13:53] <dandrader> thanks
[14:09] <Mirv> reproduced the problem on ubuntu channel + mako too now

[14:27] <mzanetti> dandrader, ^
[14:47] <faenil> dandrader: added http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/20043016/ to bug description
[14:48] <faenil> the problem should be there, somewhere
[15:04] <dandrader> Mirv, do you know how to enable ssh on a phone via command line?
[15:24] <greyback> dandrader: adb shell setprop persist.service.ssh true
[15:24] <dandrader> greyback, thanks!
[15:26] <dandrader> greyback, do I have to reboot?
[15:26] <greyback> dandrader: I think so
[16:13] <gustavopadre> hey guys, is there any way to install unity 8 theme on unity 7. Only the theme, not the session.
[17:47] <josharenson> cimi: I'm not 100% sure if this is what you meant about the autoscroller clipping, but I _think_ this solves the problem (in a bit of a roundabout way) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/20063925/
[21:22] <josharenson> mterry: re https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/unity8/fix-greeter-race/+merge/300517 is that an actual atomic operation or does it just make the race _nearly_ impossible?
[21:35] <mterry> josharenson, should be atomic
[21:35] <josharenson> mterry: good enough for me :-)
[21:35] <mterry> :)
[21:35] <josharenson> mterry: I'll approve after CI runs
