[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1425000] Re: Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration

2016-09-22 Thread Robert M. Muncrief
I can confirm the same problem exists with Xubuntu x64 16.04 as well.
However I can also confirm that this has been a problem with all Ubuntu
flavors for many years.

The difference now is that nothing can be done on the user side to fix
it. After all these years I'd become quite adept at editing display.xml
and monitor.xml files, xorg.conf files, etc. but now none of that works.
The only thing I haven't tried is changing Compiz settings, but that's
because Xubuntu doesn't run Compiz by default, and people running Compiz
have already reported that it can't be fixed their anyway.

I know the developers work hard and always have their plates full, but
if they could at least fix it enough that we could edit conf files again
it would be great.

  Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration

Bug description:
  Unity always considers the left monitor as the default/primary one when in a 
dual-monitor configuration. By this I mean that:
  - Desktop icons appear only on the left monitor
  - An opened app (eg libreoffice writer) is opened on the left screen, even if 
I launch it via the launcher on the right monitor

  The current configuration can be seen at

  The .config/monitors.xml file is shown below. Notice that the HDMI
  display (green in the photo) is set asyes.
  Nevertheless, this seems to be ignored - the behaviour is the one
  mentioned above (desktop icons on the left and writer opening on the
  left) .

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1198442] Re: package fglrx (not installed) failed to install

2015-05-20 Thread Robert M. Muncrief
This bug occurs on Ubuntu 14.04 as well, which is what I'm running. But
for some reason the bug utility will only let me report it on this
thread.

I already knew that the Catalyst 15.2 beta drivers didn't work, that's
why I never moved to Ubuntu 15.04. The last working drivers are Catalyst
14.12. I use Cairo Dock and the 15.2 drivers cause freezing and
jittering in the dock, and random crashes elsewhere.

I accidentally installed them because I guess they've just been
backported to Ubuntu 14.04. Please remove them from the repositories
until they are officially available from AMD. I always have problems
with the pre-compiled fglrx drivers but when I compile them myself they
always work. I can't do that with the Catalyst 15.2 drivers because for
some reason only the Ubuntu developers have them. Very strange, and
unwise.

If someone wants to move these comments to a 14.04 thread for this
identical bug please do, I wasn't able to do so myself.

2015-04-20 Thread Robert M. Muncrief
AMD Catalyst 14.12 drivers will not compile on Ubuntu 15.04. I am using
an HD 6450 and can compile the drivers fine on 14.04 LTS. The fglrx beta
drivers included with 15.04 are very buggy and unusable with cairo-dock
so it is critical to able to compile the 14.12 drivers.

2015-03-11 Thread Robert M. Muncrief
Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04.2. Can't install fglrx for HD3300.
version.h is missing. The worst part is that the default drivers are
very slow and trying to run a virtual machine with them is almost
impossible. I hope this can be fixed, it seems it's been a problem for a
long time.
