[regression] mutter doesn't start anymore
At some point over the weekend mutter master
regressed twice. The first regression was that it began freezing on startup (no blue splash screen and cursor can't move). But now it's just refusing to start:
$ ./mutter --wayland
(mutter:20213): mutter-WARNING **: 15:36:45.899: Can't initialize KMS backend: (null)
Bisection reveals the first regression (freeze on startup) happened in:
