2014-04-10 07:47:11 Jean-Baptiste Lallement summary Provide a fallback or warning dialog if platform is too old or unsupported Start a fallback session if platform is too old or unsupported
2014-04-10 07:47:36 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description If a platform is too old or unsupported Mir starts but unity8 crashes (bug 1304959) The result is a black screen with a mouse pointer. Instead, at least a warning should be displayed or better fallback to a supported lightweight session (like it was with Unity-GL -> Unity-2D) Test Case: 1. Install Trusty on a machine that is not capable of running Mir + Unity8 2. Install unity8-desktop-session-mir 3. In lightdm select the session 'unity8-mir' 4. Login Actual behavior: A black screen with a mouse pointer and a unity8 crash (bug 1304959) Expected behavior: Detect if the platform is supported and start a fallback session if it is not.
