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

[David Planella]

I'm not sure if that helps, but in my case comment 42 did not make a
difference, and I've noticed that at least from the regular Unity 7
session cgmanager hadn't been started automatically:

$ sudo service cgmanager status
[sudo] password for dpm:

   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cgmanager.service; disabled; vendor prese

Bug description:
  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
