Unity8 non-upstart tests fight for hardware with unity-system-compositor

[Para Siva]

Running unity8 AP tests (specifically unity8.shell.tests.test_upstart.UpstartIntegrationTests.test_no_sigstop) sees the following and the testing gets aborted:

===================

The issue is occurring on both mako and flo.

Steps to reproduce:
1. bzr branch lp:ububntu-test-cases/touch
2. cd touch
3. ./scripts/provision.sh -i touch -r 110 -n NETWORK_FILE -w
      (where network file is your wifi file )
4. scripts/jenkins.sh -a unity8 -p /tmp/results

The upstart tests in unity8 don't actually use upstart, meaning that unity8 and u-s-c fight for hardware.

Related Mir bug: bug #1347053

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package unity8 - 7.90+14.10.20140724.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity8 (7.90+14.10.20140724.1-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Michael Zanetti ]
  * properly parent launcher items (LP: #1347902)

  [ Michał Sawicz ]
  * Move the PyDev project files to the root, supporting .py scripts
    outside of tests/autopilot. Add Autopilot Run and List launch
    configurations to easily support debugging in Eclipse. Use
    add_unity8_mock macro in the Telephony plugin.
  * Drop FilterGrid and refactor height animations in GenericScopeView.
    Also implement forced category expansion. (LP: #1326470)
  * Move expansion button from section header to category footer. (LP:
    #1261300)
  * Fix expect-sigstop enviroment variable name. (LP: #1346819)
  * Make headerless categories easier Instead of having no header
    category (which is a bit confusing since the LVWPH code was designed
    so that when a category has no header it is because it shares the
    category with the previous one) what we have for headerless
    categories is a header of height 0, this way everything works as it
    should and results in cleaner code in the LVWPH and in
    GenericScopeView
  * Add support for header links.
  * Add dash PageHeader styling.
