Thanks for trying the Unity 8 desktop session and reporting problems. This is an invaluable service.
The proprietary nVidia video driver does not yet support the Mir display server, so you will need to use the free nouveau video driver with nVidia hardware at this time. We hop to have the video support problem resolved in the near future. For the Systems Settings problem, it would help if you could attach the file ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-ubuntu-system-settings-.log to this bug after experiencing the problem. That log file should contain the output from the Systems Settings application, including any diagnostics it might emit. For the Browser problem, the log file is ~/.cache/upstart/application- legacy-webbrowser-app-.log and can also be attached to this bug. For a terminal, a Unity8-compatible terminal is not installed by default and from what I can see, is only available for ARM architectures. ** Changed in: unity8-desktop-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: unity8-desktop-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1595238 Title: Unity 8 Desktop Preview System Settings do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-desktop-session/+bug/1595238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
