Who wants to test MIR?

[Cheesemill]

Doesn't seem to be working too well so far...



Edit - I've also tried launching all the available mir binaries without an X server running, same result.

Got the same thing here plus a bug that will not report.

[ventrical]

tried

mir -s

and got this:

root@ventrical-PY028AA-ABA-A1106N:~# mir -s
Command-line options.
Environment variables capitalise long form with prefix "MIR_SERVER_" and "_" in place of "-":

  -h [ --help ]                 this help text

root@ventrical-PY028AA-ABA-A1106N:~#

but nothing works ..

I just scooted around and the negative press about MIR is just unbelievable. Is there a skunk after all ?


edit:

They are saying on some forums that the MIR demo was faked.

The bad press is all over the net but Canonical shows again that they do not want to work together and fix their problems upstream instead they release something which get used in their ubuntu universe. With Mir they can control the codebase as they want to get their vision of unity - it is a slap in the face of X.org/wayland devs. Phoronix forums and google+ are at the moment interesting to read and even the Mir wiki page got overworked due to false claims which were made against wayland.

Thanks for that.

Uh Oh...... looks like time for upgrade..

here goes...

This is something you get ATM with Mir.
