[Bug 1822181] Re: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration
Definitely works with 18.04 xubuntu, got it working immediately with the same config, same nvidia driver, etc. Wanted to make sure nothing real recent, like within months, may have broken it. So, I agree that there was a change made that breaks it in 18.10+. And I totally agree that updated doc for multi screen doc should be updated or created as needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wish I could delete that post! I saw the latest posts as 2019, but the bug was 2011.

I wonder if it has to do with this change: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7502 Maybe it can't start that second screen due to this? ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #7502 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7502 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

So, I Loaded up 19.04, didn't take too long, and, the result was identical, still doesn't work, still the same symptoms. For me, this is with nvidia 418 driver, my card doesn't work with 415 driver since it's an RTX2060. For me, xrandr -q shows all devices except the second monitor, it doesn't show at all, in my case, this is DP-2, not even listed. It's MIA from xrandr. However, it shows in nvidia-settings. Just like CJS says though, I can xrandr -display :0.1 and it does show and even says connected. Is it for sure this is not an nvidia driver issue? I don't know what else to do other than install xubuntu 18.04 and hope it still works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

19.04 is released as of yesterday I think, that's why I shall test it hopefully today or tomorrow.

I will test with 19.04, but if it does not work, then, I am going to format and load 18.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1822181] Re: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration
I have the exact same issue in the exact same way, been struggling to make it work and it simply does not. It did work in previous xubuntu versions, but not 18.10, something broke it. Essentially, if you watch the machine boot up, you will see the second monitor initially shows some stuff, then, it eventually goes not blank but some light color, CJS called it light gray, lets go with that. It does not respond, I cannot send anything to that display. nvidia control panel shows both screens set up as shown by the OP. The control panel shows the second display as :0.1, and, if I for example DISPLAY=:0.1 thunar, it displays on display 0.0 If you shut the machine down, the formerly inactive second display comes to life and shows the shutdown process. If you remove the double screen portion of xorg.conf and use a single screen, it works fine. But that's not what is desired here. If there is any info I can provide, please let me know. Like CJS, this is very bad for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822181 Title: Ubuntu 18.10 broke dual-screen dual-desktop configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1822181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
