        Hey All,

        I have this super annoying issue where convergence works only the first time I plug in my hdmi cable and then every other time I just get a black screen. Restarting lightdm makes it work again so I believe its an issue with the compositor.
        I I can see in the logs everything seems to be loading properly and the screen is loading, it just seems unity inst moving across so I was wondering if there are any handy tools for debugging and testing with the Unity System Compositor?

        Any assistance appreciated.

          Hi @Zahkc, I've moved your post into the "OS" section since we're talking dev now!

          unity-system-compositor's log should normally be in /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log. You may find the accompanying lightdm.log in that folder useful depending on the error. unity8's log should be in ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log and might have some useful information as well.
