duflugreyback: One more thing: Is there an artificial throttle in QSG somewhere?10:07
dufluLike if you try to render too quickly it slows you down?10:07
dufluI'm wondering why the screen class wants to know the refresh rate too...10:09
dufluGood idea10:11

ads20000Do the Unity 8 17.04 and 16.04 + Phone Overlay PPA sessions use Mir by default? Is it possible to use Mir with Unity 7?13:34
greybackads20000: no not possible. Unity7 relies on X, which is what Mir is designed to replace.13:35
greybackis why we have to do unity813:36
greybackX and Mir are so very different13:36
ads20000greyback: OK thank you :) Do the Unity 8 sessions use Mir by default? I thought they could use X too? (I'm probably getting confused)13:36
greybackads20000: unity8 uses mir. It cannot use X.13:37
ads20000greyback: I'm asking because I want to reply to this https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/39#issuecomment-281496884 , the dev wants to test using Mir for an app, how can they best do this, maybe you should reply13:38
ads20000greyback: should they use Libertine? Or make a Snap? If using Libertine would it be using XMir? etc13:38
greybackads20000: let me reply, I know more about this situatino13:38
ads20000greyback: thank you! :)13:38
greybackads20000: ok I replied, did I answer the question ok?13:50
ads20000greyback: That's excellent thank you! My only question would be about the dev environment you suggested, is it a problem that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 use old versions of Unity 8? Quite a while ago some people said they would try to push Unity 8 updates to 16.04 by SRU and to 16.10 but this hasn't happened...13:52
ads20000greyback: I.e., is it OK if they test their application on those old Unity 8 versions? Would it still work on more recent ones? :)13:53
bregmajust an addition to that answer: Ubuntu 16.04 and later comes with Mir and Unity 8 installed by default, it's just not the default shell selected when you log in13:56
bregmano need to install extra packages or anything13:57
bregmaer, sorry, 16.10 not 16.0413:57
bregmamy mind said 16.10 and my fingers typed 16.04, I think I need new fingers13:58
