Thank you for helping to make Ubuntu better. I have uploaded these fixes for Jammy and Lunar. They will need to be manually approved by a member of the Ubuntu SRU team before they will be made available as proposed updates.

Feel free to resubscribe if you have something else that needs to be sponsored. ** Description changed: [Impact] gnome-control-center crashed when switching to mirror mode and monitors don't have matched resolution [Test case] Mirror mode is only an option if there are only 2 monitors connected even if one monitor is disabled. A laptop's internal screen counts as one of the monitors. This particular bug requires two screens that have a screen resolution that they don't both share. (See comment 12 for an example). 1. Connect the monitors 2. Open the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control-center) 3. On the left sidebar, click Displays to switch to the Display panel 4. Switch to mirror mode 3. gnome-control-center won't crash [Where problems could occur] This only modifies the code related to mirror mode in Displays panel. For Lunar, check variable (best_mode) before using it. This patch is backported from GNOME 45 Alpha. - For Jammy, include the Lunar patch and modify the way to find cloning - mode. This second patch is backported from gnome-control-center 42. + For Jammy, include the Lunar patch and update the way to find cloning + mode. These 2 additional patches are backported from gnome-control- + center 43. [Other info] Two Merge Request are related 1. Check best_mode exist before adding flag (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1835) 2. Use virtual clone modes when mirroring (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1376) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026228 Title: gnome-control-center crashed when switching to mirror mode and monitors don't have matched resolution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2026228/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
