Fix Released in Mir 0.18.0. Although it's good to mention this bug got different fixes between the 0.18 and 0.19 branches, it's probably still best to only mention it in the changelog for one of them.

I keep thinking I'm imagining things. Sometimes --vt works and sometimes it doesn't (from a Gnome Terminal). Well both are true. Now I have two separate wily machines with the same packages. One fails but the other works: FAILING MACHINE: $ sudo mir_proving_server --vt 1 [1444966151.185585] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-x11 [1444966151.187021] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-kms Unknown command line options: --vt 1 $ dpkg -l | grep mir-demos ii mir-demos 0.16.0+15.10.20150921.1-0ubuntu1 amd64 Display server for Ubuntu - demonstration programs WORKING MACHINE: $ sudo mir_proving_server --vt 1 [1444965570.300933] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-kms [1444965570.302119] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-x11 [1444965570.304409] mircommon: Loading modules from: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mir/server-platform [1444965570.304465] mircommon: Loading module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mir/server-platform/graphics-mesa-kms.so.5 [1444965570.304486] mircommon: Loading module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mir/server-platform/server-mesa-x11.so.5 [1444965570.305801] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-kms [1444965570.306531] mirplatform: Found graphics driver: mesa-x11 [1444965570.306617] mirserver: Selected driver: mesa-kms (version 0.16.0) ... $ dpkg -l | grep mir-demos ii mir-demos 0.16.0+15.10.20150921.1-0ubuntu1 amd64 Display server for Ubuntu - demonstration programs It appears the unpredictability might be arising from which driver it finds on the filesystem first.
