      Well I, for one, am following UT on Pi with great interest, @Pulsar33.

      I'm still at the "Kernel Panic" stage though, so I can't help much. Sorry.

        Hello,

        Thanks for your answer, @3arn0wl

        To be sure that we all use the same image, here are the sha256sums of the #8 latest stable build (2019 09 25) I use :
        ubuntu-touch-raspberrypi.img.gz febf1ce00e639ae469bf075bce4472b82b25a6d634a147c01d666f1d4f5033c0

        The flashing process on my Linux Mint 19.2 Desktop :

        lsblk   # the SDcard appears as /dev/sdc
        umount /dev/sdc1
        umount /dev/sdc2
        sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-touch-raspberrypi.img of=/dev/sdc status=progress

            Hi!
            The unity8 log is very similar to this issue in mir-kiosk. It says there is a workaround but I don't understand what it is....we need to study it and or help from @alan_g

            it seems we need to

            --env-hacks MIR_MESA_KMS_DISABLE_MODESET_PROBE
            

            when run mir/unity8 but I don't undestand how...

              also we are using an old rootfs with missing firmwares (last building image is the #8 from 24 September when the firmwares integration in the common rootfs is from 3 October )

                That's just one way to set an environment variable.

                  @alan_g sorry but I'm not so skilled about bash and linux. so excuse me for the stupid question:
                  I knew that environment variable had to have a value so something like

                  ENV_NAME=value
                  

                  MIR_MESA_KMS_DISABLE_MODESET_PROBE seem only the name...what is its value? is it"true"?

                    It doesn't need a value, so "true" will be fine (as will "false").

                      no, setting that as an enviroment variable didn't solved the problem... ¯\(ツ)/¯

                        Hello
                        Still stuck in console mode.
                        Please tell me the commands to try launching the graphical mode, even if this doesn't succeed at this time.

                          @Pulsar33 it should be in the Ctrl+Alt+F7. unity8 is by default already running in background. you can prove that by typing in the console

                          start unity8
                          

                          Also you can restart it with

                          restart unity8
                          

                          The problem is that it doesn't seem to work properly because of the mesa-kms missing support in the raspberrypi4 as you can see above
                          (EGL platform does not support EGL_KHR_platform_gbm extension, Failed to detect whether device /dev/dri/card1 and card2 supports KMS and Couldn't get DRM resources for an Invalid argument)

                            If that's how you are starting Unity8, then setting the environment variable needs to be done in the launch scripts, not in your terminal session. (Sorry, I don't know enough about how your image is set up to know where these scripts are.)

                              @alan_g i didn't set that variable throught the terminal session but by editing /etc/environment and ~/.bashrc files

                                  I would be glad to pastebin it but I don't know where to find it. The only relevant logs I have are :

                                    Hi Alan!
                                    The unity8 log pastebin was already linked in the first post of this thread. Sorry I thought that it was convenient to put it there. Here the link to the unity8 log pastebin.

                                    @Pulsar33 for the unity8 log you have to do this:

                                    cat /.cache/upstart/unity8.log

                                      Sorry, I miss that all logs in /home/phablet/.cache where not seen.
                                      Same log as you ...

                                        @Aury88 sorry, I didn't read the whole thread, just from the point you pinged me.

                                        That log isn't related to https://github.com/MirServer/mir/issues/704 where one of the DRM functions returns a misleading result. Instead it looks like the graphics driver isn't adequately supported by Mesa.

                                        I know that my colleagues at Canonical have yet to get graphics working on the Pi4 with Ubuntu Core (I think that's lack of time, not a technical issue). But maybe you can find something useful here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/support-for-raspberry-pi-4/11970

                                        For example:

                                        you might need to play with the dtoverlay= kms or fkms values in config.txt. i know the vc4 driver isnt fully ready to drive the vc5 hardware in the pi4 but i know that for example my omxplayer-pi snap works fine (only 1080p though, omxplayer does not support h265 yet) when either using no dtoverlay or with the fkms one (not with the kms one though). - https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/support-for-raspberry-pi-4/11970/17
