Mir
Demo Shell Controls

Mir's demo shell (mir_proving_server) is a basic environment for testing Mir server features as well as running natively ported apps/toolkits. It is still primitive and requires some explaining to make proper use of, so read on.

Running Demo Shell

Remember to always run mir_proving_server as root on PC (not required on Android), as this is required for input device support (open bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1286252);

sudo mir_proving_server

And if you're not already on the VT you wish to use, that needs to be specified:

sudo mir_proving_server --vt 1

There are plenty more options available if you run:

mir_proving_server --help

Controls

All controls have a keyboard/mouse combination and where possible also have touch alternatives for phones/tablets:

Super means the Windows key on a PC, or the search key on a Chromebook.
