Tried: /dev/tty0: Failed to open read-only: Permission denied Failed to open write-only: Permission denied /dev/tty: Failed to open read-only: No such device or address Failed to open write-only: No such device or address This occurs when trying to start the unity8 greeter under unity system compositor [Impact] LightDM reports the system compositor socket to Mir clients using the MIR_SOCKET variable. This stopped working in Mir 0.21. The Mir team says the correct variable is MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET and MIR_SOCKET was a fallback to that. [Test Case] 1. Start LightDM with a Mir greeter Expected result: Greeter starts Observed result: Mir greeter fails to start. It is attempting to access the video drivers directly (i.e. not through a compositor). [Regression Potential] Risk of using LightDM with older version of Mir that doesn't support MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET. Risk of behaviour change in Mir using MIR_SERVER_HOST_SOCKET.
