Building Mir kills my running X session

[tsimonq2]

Using native-compile.sh I built Mir on my system. I'm running LXQt in X with Openbox on Lubuntu Cosmic. Twice now, once in QTerminal and once in tty2, when the tests are ran, my session seems to be killed.

Cycling through all the ttys reveals that it's gone... But I was playing a YouTube video and I could still hear that for a short time afterwards.

Hm, what version?

Specifically, does it contain this merge? Because prior to that the acceptance tests would use the default behaviour of probing for a usable ConsoleServices implementation. If run as root or on a VT that hasn't been claimed from logind it would successfully build either LinuxVirtualTerminal or LogindConsoleServices, both of which would mess with your session.

The core Mir team uniformly build as non-root in an X session that's claimed the logind session, so we were accidentally immune to this problem 😁

Hm, what version?

Tip of master when I reported it.

Harumph. That shouldn't interact with the hardware at all :(

If it happens again could you please attach the build log, if you can get it?

Wow! I don't think I ever knew that file exists. It is ..um.. interesting.

I wonder if this is related to #539?

@tsimonq2 would you mind checking the scenario described there from the LXQt desktop?

[AlanGriffiths]

Pretty sure now that this and #539 are both the result of our logind console-services messing with an X11session that hasn't claimed the VT from logind.
