How to make a huge buzz ?
i feel Canonical knows it very well (sadly a bit too agressive about X & wayland devs, and not so elegant) and now everyone around the Linux world have a possible opinion about it. Was that the first target ? Maybe now the "dormant" X team will revive a bit that oldish piece of code, to please a bit better whats Canonical glance at.
At the end of 2013 we will be able to compare all the work done

This current type of indecision puts everyone between a rock and a hardplace. It makes Ubuntu core look skittish. I mean , either stick with what works or move past it and get on with the project.

What are you suggesting? This is the licensing for the MIR code.think about what could be the motivation for Canonical to create it's own display manager ?

No one in Canonical from Mark Shuttleworth down is denying that X and Wayland are not capable of doing a lot of stuff but they say neither of them meet the needs of what Canonical wants to do with its convergence strategy.
In summary, we have not chosen Wayland/Weston as our basis for delivering a next-generation user experience as it does not fulfill our requirements completely. More to this, with our protocol- and platform-agnostic approach, we can make sure that we reach our goal of a consistent and beautiful user experience across platforms and device form factors. However, Wayland support could be added either by providing a Wayland-specific frontend implementation for our display server or by providing a client-side implementation of libwayland that ultimately talks to Mir.

It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

Still no luck here on my Intel machine...
I'm not sure if it's because of the different graphics chipset or if there's a regression in the xorg-edgers driver.Code:root@raring:~# lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18) root@raring:~# root@raring:~# apt-cache show xserver-xorg-video-intel | grep Version Version: 2:2.21.3+git20130306.779fc0b2-0ubuntu0sarvatt root@raring:~# root@raring:~# uname -a Linux raring 3.8.0-11-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 5 20:32:48 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Which Intel driver are you using?

As I see it, the motivation from Canonical is an attempt to control.
First the desktop (Unity) and now the display manager MIR
It has nothing to do with the license but, as I see it, a lot to do with control.
What will happen to all other buntu's now ? Will they have to use MIR too ?

Everything except libmirserver-dev, I'll install that and see if it makes a difference.Code:rob@raring:~$ aptitude search mir | grep "^i" i libmirclient-demos - Display server for Ubuntu - example client i A libmirclient-dev - Display server for Ubuntu - development he i libmirclient0 - Display server for Ubuntu - client library i A libmirprotobuf-dev - Display server for Ubuntu - protocol defin i A libmirprotobuf0 - Display server for Ubuntu - protocol imple i A libmirserver0 - Display server for Ubuntu - server library i mir - Display server for Ubuntu - server executa
Edit - Looks like I'll have to wait a while...

I have encountered the exact same thing on one of my Nvidia machines. It is really very tricky. That libmirserver-dev has certain headers that are required. After I nstalled the ppa and then used synaptic I forgot to *include* that file and now I have the same errors as you on one machine.
I'll brb.
