[Bug 1535058] Re: applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash

[Ted Gould]

So we fixed the fact that pam wasn't installed, but it seems for some
systems cgmanager is still not running by default. For my machine it
seems that, somehow, cgmanager got disabled. I was able to renable it
using:

$ sudo systemctl enable cgmanager

Then upon rebooting it starts and everything is fine. I'm not sure how
when it is installed it is determined whether or not cgmanager is
enabled or disabled. Since my machines started it's life as a 12.04 box,
I'm curious if in my case it is an upgrade error.

So for those who are still having this, and have a UAL version in the
0.9 range, could you please comment if your machine is an upgrade or
clean install and then the output of:

$ sudo systemctl status cgmanager

To see whether it is enabled or disabled.

Bug description:

  applications close instantly when launched from the launcher or dash
  but... if i launch the apps from a VT (for ex firefox using Xmir or gedit native --), the app loads ok.

  what close instantly means.. it opens the window and then it closes
  instantly in ~0.3s
