Bug Description

Created a virtual machine with VirtualBox with this daily build: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20160401/

Installed "unity8-desktop-session-mir" through apt. Logged out of VM. Selected Unity8 in greeter and entered password. VM screen blanks, resizes, and shows greeter without password input fields. VM only responds to hitting the "Esc" key, which brings back up the "Retry" button without any password fields. Any attempt to enter a password results in "Authentication Failed". Below is a relevant excerpt from /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log:

Thanks Larry. That would be bug 1118903.

You need to run Mir on real hardware for now.
