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

[Serge Hallyn]

Hi,

reading back over this bug;  @dpm said he did not have cgmanager
installed.  Upstart uses cgmanager to create cgroups.  So without
cgmanager this would certainly fail.

Would it be possible for someone to get a VM exporting unity8 over spice
or vnc and give me credentials?  (since i've failed to set something up
that works)  Or actually i don't even need gui access, if i can just ssh
in and strace things while asking someone to click go on the app a few
times, that would be very helpful.

  xenial
  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
