Unity8 Login Hangs

[Gene Soo]

Attempted to Install and Login using Unity8 on top of Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop Build.
Am amble to Signon to Unity Desktop distributed by build however when I attempt to singon to Unity8, the password accepts but the Signon Screen does not go away. The only thing I can do is either shutdown the machine or Restart.

The following data is from my test image:
gene@U1604DSKDLYX:~$ uname -a
Linux U1604DSKDLYX 4.4.4-040404-generic #201603031931 SMP Fri Mar 4 00:34:16 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
gene@U1604DSKDLYX:~$ sudo apt-get install unity8-desktop-session-mir

Are you sure the problem is not that you get another sign on screen?

Have you tried entering the password in the second sign on screen?

[Gene Soo (genesoo77072)]

Attaching two screen shots. First is at Signon prompt waiting for Password.
Second is after password entered and "Enter" key depressed.
ieldI don't get another Signon Screen. I get a hung state with an
intermediate screen with No Password entry field. Seems like the signon
request is accepted and waiting for validation like from a server that is
offline.

just double checking, can you

$ sudo apt-get remove mir-client-platform-mesa3 mir-client-platform-mesa2 mir-client-platform-mesa1

these are very old, if you have them hanging around they can cause problems.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Bartosz Woronicz (mastier1)]

On Ubuntu 16.10 and native system (thinkpad x230t) Intel Ivy-bridge behaviour is the same

[Kishlay (kishlay-kumar1995)]

This problem is also there on Ubuntu 17.04.
