Bug Description
Hi,
I've upgraded to 16.10 to try out the latest and the greatest. Unfortunately, the Unity8 session does not work anymore. It was working as expected on 16.04 with the overlay PPA.
When I select "Unity8" in lightdm and enter my password, the password box disappears, and nothing else happens. I can still access all the indicators, so lightdm is not completely frozen. I then have to reboot or restart lightdm in tty1 to log in Unity 7.
I do have a "system problem detected" warning and I did send the report, but I can't find it on Launchpad, that's why I'm filing this bug manually.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 64bits, with the opensource radeon driver.
Further info from the automatic bug report:
Title : unity-system-
I'm attaching some logs that might be useful.
Thanks!

I can't reproduce any such problem on a pure 16.10 install. The error:
what(): option cannot be specified more than once
implies that your lightdm is passing an extra option when it executes the unity-system- compositor command.
