Hi... Mir and Unity8 do not yet support the Nvidia driver. Although we're making good progress and will do in future.

This bug is actually the #1 cause of unity-system-compositor crashes too:

It seems the next version of mir (v0.25) will support nvidia.

See bug #1628478 at https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.25.0.

The bug milestone was changed to 0.25 from 0.26 a few days ago which makes me think that much progress was made and hopefully an 0.25 release is imminent.

I'm glad you're paying attention, but that's probably an incorrect conclusion.

I only moved that bug from 0.26 to 0.25 because it was alone in a hidden future milestone and wanted it to be more visible with all our other current work. That does not mean it will all be done in time for 0.25. Some of the items in 0.25 right now will (again) move to 0.26.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. I actually posted the comment here by mistake - I was meaning to post it in one of the forums. I guess a lot of users are waiting for nvidia support since 16.10 shipped with unity 8.

This is indeed a duplicate of my new bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643420

Please close one of them, I believe the one I linked is newer.

Confirmed again today with newest updates and proprietary driver 375...

We always try to keep the oldest bug open unless for some reason there is dramatically better information in the newer duplicate. So this one stays the main bug. Bug 1643420 is 'closed' by simply being a duplicate of this one.

I can confirm that this big still exists with Nvidia 378.13 and Unity 8 in Ubuntu 16.10 as of today.
