dinamic: unity8.log is showing it has chosen driver "mesa" (which it should not because it should be nested), and it's also showing driver version 0.11.0 which is very old now. So there are at least two obvious issues there.
Please do these: 0. If you can, upgrade the whole system to wily as that is where we are doing development. 1. Update your packages (vivid should have Mir 0.12 at least) 2. Don't start unity8 manually. Instead log out and select it from the regular Ubuntu login screen (unity8-desktop-session-mir adds a new option). 3. If it still doesn't work for you, please then attach: /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494716 Title: vivid+overlay : unity8 fails to load Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: unity8 fails to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1494716/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
