[Bug 491778] Re: gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Control Center is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 491778] Re: gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor
gnome-settings-daemon appears to start as a consequence of running
gnome-display-properties ('ps wux' didn't show it before, but it showed
up after). Running it (g-d-p) in a console gives the following output:
(gnome-display-properties:3213): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the
separator setting
(gnome-display-properties:3213): Gtk-WARNING **: No object called:
This is immediately on startup, no further messages are produced when I
try to change layout or apply settings.

> gnome-session or something like that? yes, gnome-settings-daemon is what applies the changes, does it make a difference if you run it? -- gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 491778] Re: gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor
Sorry. The problem persists, in that I seem to be unable to actually change the monitor configuration with gnome-display-properties. It is interesting that nobody else has chimed in, I wonder if this is caused by something else in my setup? (I'm not running Gnome, but using the Xmonad WM with gnome-panel. Does g-d-p need gnome-session or something like that?) My needs are solved with xrandr, so if nobody else reports this, I don't think it should be prioritized. -- gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 491778] Re: gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor
OK. I just fired up System/Preferences/Monitors. It correctly displays both monitors and the current configuration (the smaller laptop monitor on top of the larger external one). Unplugged the external monitor's VGA connection. Hit "Detect monitors", and only the laptop monitor shows, and "apply" configures screen size to match. Plugging the VGA back in, the external monitor is automatically detected, and I immediately get an image on the external monitor as it was, i.e. larger screen size, and the laptop only showing part of it. I then removed the external monitor using "xrandr --output VGA1 --off". Fired up Sys/Pref/Monitors. Again the external is detected, but I can't enable it, and had to use "xrandr --output VGA1 --auto" to get it to work again. The EDID messages are gone from dmesg, it seems. -- gnome-display-properties fails to add new monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
