I seem to have a problem with running a Unity8-mir session on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I installed unity 8 mir according to the instructions as described at the webpage OMGubuntu. After rebooting I can choose wether to run a standard session or Unity8-Mir as described on the same page. If I choose the latter option the screen turns black and the computer doesn't seem to respond anymore. I have to reset by alt-ctrl F1.
I am eager to know a solution to this problem, because I want to get familiar with Unity 8 for desktop.
Thanks a lot!!

package installed. Also make sure you are using open source drivers (though I'm not sure if anything other than Intel has really been tested at this point).
