    I've got some reports from Arch Linux users that are trying to install Unity in headless systems (for automated builds, I presume) and they are getting this:

    GTK cannot open DISPLAY. Are you trying to run --unattended or --list-components?

    I understood from the Anticipated FAQ that it should work. Any ideas?

    As the message says, they need to specify --unattended or --list-components for headless mode.

    Ugh, looks like I derped the contracted form. Use the full "--unattended" and it should work.
