| sacarde | hi | 09:27 |

| sacarde | is possible to run unity8 in ubuntu on qemu-kvm ? | 09:28 |
| sacarde | I try installing unity8 on 16.04 and in 16.10, but when I insert user/password in lightdm, then nothing appens | 09:33 |
| sacarde | I view this: http://sacarde.altervista.org/np/unity8-1.jpg | 09:33 |
| Saviq | sacarde, yes it should work in qemu/kvm - what you're seeing there suggests unity8 failed to start for some reason | 09:36 |
| Saviq | sacarde, one thing that might still be required is you might need to add ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay | 09:36 |
| Saviq | (we need to fix that) | 09:36 |
| Saviq | I'll try to get it going here and let you know what's my success rate | 09:37 |
| sacarde | Saviq, added ppa, and now I have to install any pkg? | 09:50 |
| Saviq | sacarde, update and dist-upgrade | 09:50 |
| sacarde | ok | 09:51 |
| Saviq | sacarde, hmm, I just picked up the 16.10 ISO from releases.ubuntu.com, installed that and selected Unity8 in the greeter and unity8 started just fine | 10:15 |
| Saviq | please clear /var/log/lightdm/*, try again and check if any of those files say anything interesting about why it wouldn't start | 10:17 |
| duflu | Saviq, sacarde: Mir only supports the QXL option on QEMU/KVM right now. I'm not experienced with it but anpok_ is. More VM support will come before 17.04 | 10:35 |
| duflu | But for now I EOD | 10:35 |
| anpok_ | sacarde, Saviq: we currently do not support the drm dirty-fb submission mode.. which seems to be used by vbox and the default kvm video adapters | 10:42 |
| anpok_ | but it should be simple to add .. | 10:43 |
| Saviq | ah I might've done something to configure QEMU/KVM to use the supported video? | 10:43 |
| anpok_ | yes selecting qxl and videao adapter and vm-manager to launch a spice server | 10:43 |
| anpok_ | *qxl as video adapter | 10:43 |
| Saviq | sacarde, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/SPICE#Enabling_SPICE_using_virt-manager might help in what's required to have QXL as your video adapter | 11:05 |

| sacarde | hi | 14:53 |
| sacarde | Saviq, I try adding qemu parameter: -vga qxl | 14:59 |
| sacarde | and now unity8 start! | 14:59 |
| Saviq | sacarde, nice :) | 15:00 |
| sacarde | only one problem | 15:00 |
| sacarde | I view 2 cursor | 15:00 |
| sacarde | and I cannot control real cursor well | 15:00 |
| === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk | ||
| Saviq | sacarde, yeah I'm not sure how to confine the mouse cursor to the machine - it sure should be possible... | 15:02 |
| Saviq | sacarde, one workaround we've been using: use a USB mouse and redirect the USB device to the VM directly ;) | 15:03 |
| sacarde | unity8 is made for mobile ? | 15:29 |
| sacarde | I read: "swipe from the left edge to open the launcher" | 15:29 |
| sacarde | how can I "swipe" with normal cursor ? | 15:30 |
| Saviq | sacarde, it should say "push against..." when you use a mouse | 16:13 |
| Saviq | sacarde, but the same problem applies - USB mouse redirected to the VM is your best bet atm | 16:13 |
| Saviq | sacarde, and yes, unity8 started on mobile and is growing to desktop usecases, allowing us to keep them going in the same direction, hence convergence that isn't just schizophrenia | 16:14 |
