Hi, There!

Tried to install ubuntu-desktop-mir on a vmware VM running 14.04, XMir-
capable xf86-video-vmware

However, X apparently hangs trying to switch console:

root       2111  0.0  0.4 142456  9492 tty8     Ss+  02:35   0:00
/usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten
tcp vt8 -novtswitch

(gdb) bt

Any ideas?

Title:
   Documentation instructs to install the package unity-system-
   compositor, but this is not sufficient for having Mir

Status in Mir:
   Fix Released
Status in Unity System Compositor:
   Invalid
Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu:
   Fix Released

Bug description:
   Documentation at Ubuntu Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Installing)
   and at the Mir site
   (http://unity.ubuntu.com/mir/installing_prebuilt_on_pc.html) instruct
   to install the package unity-system-compositor to have Mir. At least
   for me, with bleeding edge Trusty Tahr with daily updates this isn't
   sufficient, I believe the last time my lightdm ran Mir was 17th of
   November. That's when my /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log
   is dated. I've had xserver-xorg-xmir and unity-system-compositor
   installed all along, but noticed apt would like to autoremove the
   latter.
