[Bug 1359332] Re: Need to allow for both Unity 8 desktop "bare metal" and LXC sessions

 

Hello Christopher, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity8-desktop-session into trusty-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8
-desktop-session/1.0.10+14.04.20140915-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then
in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users trying to use the Unity8 desktop preview in a Linux Container cannot log in using LightDM.  They are presented a black screen with a cursor.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC package (currently in a PPA here: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/+archive/ubuntu/unity8-preview-lxc) alongside the unity8-desktop-session-mir package in Universe.  Setup the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC#Setting_up_the_Unity_8_Desktop_Preview_LXC
  2. Log in to the "Unity8 Mir in LXC" session from LightDM.

  The Unity8 desktop preview will load.

  [Regression potential]
  Non observed.

  Original Description:

  It would be desirable to allow both the Unity 8 desktop preview
  session from the archive and the Unity 8 desktop preview in the LXC to
  be installed at the same time.

  Currently, the Unity 8 desktop preview in LXC conflicts the "bare
  metal" Unity 8 desktop preview session.
