I've found I can get Unity8 to render in virt-manager (Qemu/KVM) with Display set to Spice and Video: QXL.
That might be a faster target (for QA) then getting full software rendering. The only showstopper is the mouse doesn't let me go across the entire screen. It seems what Mir says is the screen is different than what the virt-viewer thinks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1118903 Title: [enhancement] Mir lacks a software rendering backend (and doesn't work in virtual machines) Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Mir: Triaged Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in mir package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As always, it's a critical requirement for Ubuntu to be able to render the same thing on any machine (metal or virtual), regardless of the availability of hardware acceleration.
