FWIW, this is on my MacBook pro:

micha@Shadow ~  $  ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhybris*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhybris-common.so.1

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhybris-egl:

Would this get your hardware stuff enabled here then? If so, the check
is not good enough.


Again, you really should not think of it as Touch vs Desktop. Desktops
have touch screens, phones have Bluetooth mice and external screens. All
of them will be running unity8.

Turns out that codecs get stuck and just hang on my Chromebook when more than one runs at a time, so we can’t enable concurrent extraction on Arm anyway for the time being.

Wasn't the idea to enable concurrent extraction for when we are using
the software codecs?
