User1: RAOF (I know you're away right now): Is this also your domain? - https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1499229
User2: Ubuntu bug 1499229 in Mir "[regression] [testsfail] failure in CI on ThreadedDispatcherSignalTest.keeps_dispatching_after_signal_interruption" [High,Triaged]
User3: User1 Yeah, it is.
User4: Hello, I have a very basic question regarding running Xmir on an ubuntu phone (meizu), the connection is rejected by the server and I just cannot find a log or indications on how to allow this.
User5: User4 you have to add a parameter --desktop_file_hint= iirc that tells unity8 which application it is dealing with
User5: it otherwise tries to figure out the app id.. and that will fail
User4: ha thanks i will investigate this, i did not understood it was required
User4: undertand sorry
User5: hm people at #ubuntu-unity shoud know more details
User4: thanks a lot
User5: the parameter needs just one valid .desktop file..
User4: i'll just investigate this and eventually ask on the unity channel, thanks, so far i still get rejected
User5: what parameter do you supply for mirSocket?
User5: oh logs say rejcted..
User5: nm, then it is the right one already..
User4: the one in /var/run
User6: Does anybody know if GTK has a Mir backend? I think I read about it being patched for Mir, but that was a long time ago.
User5: gtk3 has
User5: yes and it is upstream
User5: but on ubuntu-touch devices there are problems with the supported pixel formats.. none match the ones that cairo currently supports.. (I believe the backend currently tries to use software rendering)
User5: or the opposite and that turns out to be a problem.. I havent looked in detail
User6: User5 Thanks for the detailed reply!
User7: User6 if you get this working, can you let me know?
User5: User6 oh things have changed:
User5: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/gdk/mir/gdkmirwindowimpl.c?id=af5792f14126382705b2de328e4266f03ad1f824
User4: is there a repo/ppa where to get the latest builds for Xmir ?
User8: maikeul, the latest version should be available in the vivid+overlay PPA, which should be in the sources on your device already
User8: maikeul, just be aware there is no official support for running X11 apps directly on your phone
