The system-compositor window manager expects clients to create fullscreen windows associated with outputs.
For example: VT1: sudo bin/mir_demo_server --window-manager system-compositor --arw-file VT2: bin/mir_demo_server --host /tmp/mir_socket VT3: bin/mir_demo_client_eglplasma Which works for me. You can also, for example, connect the USC "spinner" directly: bin/unity-system-compositor-spinner -m /tmp/mir_socket Hmm. That last one doesn't work today. (But, oddly, fails to get a connection - not create a surface.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1488431 Title: Clients fail to create surfaces when using Mir server in compositor mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mir/+bug/1488431/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
