OK, sorry this took longer than it should have.

The bad news for me is that my Core2 system is broken. Although I successfully logged into Unity8 from the 16.10 live session and Unity8 worked perfectly.

But it seems your problems are all to do with Unity8 crashing due to an exception coming from Mir itself:
