Removing the system-compositor-testing PPA

Should you have been using the system-compositor-testing PPA you will have to remove the PPA and it's content from your system prior to installing XMir from archive. 

$> sudo apt-get update 
$> sudo apt-get install ppa-purge 
$> sudo ppa-purge ppa:mir-team/system-compositor-testing 
$> sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/50-pin-mir.pref 

Then, follow "Installing from Archive". 

Installing from Archive

Prior to landing Mir and related packages in the Ubuntu archive, we offered XMir via the system-compositor-testing ppa (ppa:mir-team/system-compositor-testing). As of August 9, 2013 XMir can be installed directly from archive via 

$> sudo apt-get update 
$> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 
$> sudo apt-get install unity-system-compositor 
$> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop-mir 
$> sudo restart lightdm 

Verifying that unity-system-compositor is running

You can check in 3 ways whether unity-system-compositor is running: 

$> ps aux | grep unity-system-compositor 
$> grep -i xmir /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
$> ls -l /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log 

Removing unity-system-compositor

Temporarily

If you want to temporarily switch back to using X.org on your system, run following commands: 

$> sudo vi  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-unity-system-compositor.conf 

and add a comment to the second line: 

[SeatDefaults] 
#type=unity;xlocal 

and restart lightdm 

$> sudo restart lightdm 

If you want to enable XMir back again, you simply remove the comment: 

[SeatDefaults] 
type=unity;xlocal 

and restart lightdm 

$> sudo restart lightdm 

Permanently

In order to remove unity-system-compositor permanently from your system, run following command: 

$> sudo apt-get remove unity-system-compositor 
$> sudo restart lightdm
