[Bug 1408910] [NEW] Ubuntu Desktop Next fails to start; just black screen and mouse pointer (unity8.log: std::exception::what: Failed to create shared EGL context)

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Desktop Next fails to start. I just get a black screen and mouse pointer. So unity-system-compositor is working fine. Only the nested unity8 can't run:
unity8.log: std::exception::what: Failed to create shared EGL context

I've also verified mir_proving_server with mir_demo_client_* runs fine
in another VT.

I think this might be a new issue introduced by the upgrade to Mir 0.10
last night?
