Comment 8 for bug 1611804

I am experiencing the same issue on VMware Fusion, running Xenial.

I am able to start mir_demo_server_minimal and see the white cursor (from a VT).
But mir seems to fail to load libraries due to symbol errors.

I have the stable-phone-overlay PPA as well. I apt-get install'ed mir-graphics-driver-desktop hopefully pulling all of the platform-graphics-* packages needed (kms9, kms10, x9, x10)

unity-system-compositor.log shows the following error:
