[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
I tried the workaround proposed by thw-th. It works, but only for the first login. That means the screen configuration is wrong - on the login screen (gdm) - after locking the screen and unlocking it again With lightdm, the login screen works like a charm but the desktop is affected by the screen config issue right after logging in, when the above workaround is not installed. So, yes, seems like a GNOME issue.

[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Because this seems to be a timing issue, I extend the approach of HaraldK. The idea is just start the g-s-d a little bit later. Therefore I create a file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings- daemon.override which overrides the exec statement: script sleep 2 exec /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon end script This works for me on several setups (with SSD and conventional hard disks). Adding a somewhat random delay is not really a satisfying solution. A real Bugfix is still needed! Other test relying on /etc/xdg/autostart/ completely fail, although the autostart is basically working and a g-s-d startup file is installed by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@HaraldK Weirdly, I actually mean on the left. I tested different configurations where the origin was not 0,0 (for example moving both monitors by 1 to the right) and the monitors.xml file only takes when the primary display is on the left.

In case it's useful: I have confirmed the issue on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 but only when the monitor on the left is not the primary monitor. i.e. I can set my external monitor to be on the left of my laptop's built in screen, but only if I set it as the primary display.

[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
What do you mean on the left? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while the other monitor is then relative to this one. So we have three properties a monitor can have: 1) internal laptop or external (or put it: hardware's main monitor and additional monitor) 2) has the gnome panel or not 3) is listed with x,y=0,0 as reference in monitors.xml Makes 8 possibilities. Argh, do I really want to try them now? (BTW: my monitors are stacked up vertically, the external one on top has the panel.

[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Now here is something that did help. In effect it is likely much the same as killing gnome-settings-manager, except it is not killed, but just started later: sudo echo manual /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings- daemon.override This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon to be started by the 'init --user' session manager. I thought now the gnome-settings-daemon might be started by one of /usr/share/upstart/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop but these don't seem to do anything. Therefore I created a ~/.config/autostart/gsd.desktop which starts gnome-settings-daemon. The downside of this approach in contrast to the kill-approach is that the if the daemon falls over, it is not automatically restarted. Obviously it helps to start the daemon rather later than earlier. Looking at the preconditions in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings-daemon.conf, they are start on started dbus and starting gnome-session INSTANCE=GNOME There is probably only one little thing missing here, but I have no background to guess what it might be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Sebastien Sorry to comment on a meta-issue, but it concerns me when you say: What your company is doing is their decision, not a lot we can do. Changing OS over a bug doesn't seems like a rationnal decision, your company could have looked at this issue, and contributed a fix for likely a lot less of efforts than it's going to take them to change systems on a thousand mahcines.

Perhaps it is because it is becoming all too frequent with ubuntu that your desire to add new featues is causing you to frequently break existing behaviours.

[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
@Sebastien Bacher: It is also happening on Unity, even if you set screen settings from AMD Catalyst (I have an AMD card), until you make changes from Gnome Control Center and save them. After that problems are almost fixed. Almost means that before the login process everything is still messed up (my login prompt appears on my TV), but after login problem dissapear. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

this is probably related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1283615 I'm not yet sure which is cause vs effect, but doing: $ sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/ caused lightdm to start with the 'correct' monitor configuration for me. Sadly, it did not persist through login to gnome-shell, but $ nohup gnome-settings-daemon -r seems to fix it for my user session. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #694761 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694761 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Similar issue, nvidia 550ti - gnome ubuntu 14.04 also mint 17 setting tv to off and main monitor on - no change to position on saving in either nvidia-settings or display results in both turned on after reboot. this worked fine previously on mint 16 or ubuntu gnome 13.10 Plus setting importance to low is not very helpful to those who have the issue, I bet if it affected a developer it would be much higher importance, every bug is important to those it affects! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
