unity 8 desktop dosent load

[krishnan sampath]

Downloaded the ubuntu desktop next iso on 21.02.2015, and installed it on laptop with switchable AMD graphics card. I am NOT using the catalyst driver and so unity 8 should run on open source drivers last time i checked.
I'm unable to get past the language selection screen at Hi! Welcome to ubuntu phone. I'm also not able to select any other language as there is not drop down list when i click the language selection box. I'm also unable to click the continue button as the button itself is not clickable.
Same issue on ubuntu-desktop-session-mir package installed on fresh install of Vivid Vevret(unity 7 base).
It should be noted that the unity 8 session works perfectly(as its supposed to for now) in the live cd/usb mode

Hi Krishnan,

Unity8 is under active development and changes often, but changes only go into the next Ubuntu release while it's under development.

As Ubuntu 16.04 is now released, please try that one and tell us if it fixes your problems.
