[Bug 1535058] Re: applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash

[Daniel van Vugt]

Mark, thanks for giving it a go.

Seems like a large proportion of people are using the Nvidia binary
driver (which I knew already having maintained Compiz), and are keeping
it installed when they try to test Unity8/Mir.

The bad news is we expect this to fail. And possibly should publicize
that better (maybe??).

The good news is that we have a developer working on adding support for
the latest Nvidia binary driver to Mir right now. We expect full support
will be completed within months.

Bug description:
  xenial
  applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash
  but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok.

  what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes
  instantly in ~0.3s
