      Hi everyone, I've been trying to port Ubuntu Touch to my Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro (raphael), using Halium 9 with the help of the GSI.

      I'm almost there - but LightDM crashes, because unity-system-compositor crashes.
      Below is the contents of /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log:

      Does anyone know what's happening here?

        Fixed - turns out I need the binder patch: https://github.com/moto-SDM660/android_kernel_motorola_sdm660/commit/d6d8b51485eaf02933055e2d201c338bca1020f6

          @hacker1024 Great you could figure it out.

          Can you mark the thread as solved (Topic Tools -> Ask a question then -> mark as solved) so people could find the answer easily.

          Thanks.
