        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.
