[Bug 1905084] Re: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard
I set up and save the two configurations separately in gnome-control- center, but they are not applied when switching modes with Super+P (or with the dedicated key) or when switching modes in gnome-control-center, the settings don't persist. The settings are saved in ~/.config/monitors.xml when setting up and saving the configuration in gnome-control-center, but they are not applied when switching with Super+P or when switching modes in gnome- control-center, the settings don't persist. Another way to see the bug is to save a mode configuration in gnome- control-center then switch to the same mode using Super+P by pressing Super+P many times without selecting a different mode, the settings will be lost. See the attached screencast. ** Attachment added: "Monitor-conf.webm" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1905084/+attachment/5437640/+files/Monitor-conf.webm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905084 Title: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1905084/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1905084] Re: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard
I'm assuming you're using the equivalent feature of Super+P. Some models of laptop have a dedicated key to do the same thing. Looking at gnome-shell's switchMonitor.js it looks pretty simple but I would recommend editing your ~/.config/monitors.xml and ensuring the scaling settings you want are remembered there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905084 Title: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1905084/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1905084] Re: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard
"Single" and "extended" display modes sound like different configurations. You need to set each up separately with your preferred settings in gnome-control-center, and save the settings of each. If you have done that, and especially if you have verified it's been saved in ~/.config/monitors.xml then this is a bug. Does it only happen in Wayland sessions? ** Tags added: multimonitor ** Changed in: mutter (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905084 Title: Fractional scaling of external monitor and monitor positioning are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes using the keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1905084/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
