An upstream bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/938
suggests that: Error setting property 'PowerSaveMode' on interface org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24) is a symptom and not the problem. So... Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps: 1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run: ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug. 2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us. 3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1. Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself. ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 20.04 freezes when logging in + Ubuntu 20.04 freezes when logging in with external monitors connected ** Tags added: multimonitor ** Also affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues #938 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/938 ** Also affects: mutter via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/938 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 20.04 freezes when logging in with external monitors connected + Ubuntu 20.04 freezes when logging in with external monitors connected [Error setting property 'PowerSaveMode' on interface org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)] ** Also affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: mutter ** No longer affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880954 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 freezes when logging in with external monitors connected [Error setting property 'PowerSaveMode' on interface org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1880954/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
