[Bug 874146] Re: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored
@MCReturn I'm quite sure I've restarted my computer. I find it interesting that after I place the smaller display(1280*1024) left of the larger(1920*1080) in system settings->Display, when I click sound settings, system settings ,etc on the smaller display the window will always show on the larger one. While if I place the smaller display(1280*1024) right of the larger(1920*1080) , the same settings windows will always open correctly on the current display. I' m using default in General Compiz Options->Display Settings and using "Output device with pointer" in Place windows plugin. Anyway, using "prefer smaller output" in General Compiz Options->Display Settings works for me very well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@xgdgsc: 1. Please make sure that you have restarted Compiz/Unity before testing the fix. 2. Use the "Place" plugin to adjust place window settings, make sure you use the default settings in General Compiz Options->Display Settings (click on the 3 "x" to reset those). 3. Note that some windows (like media players) save their position on exit, so to make those appear on a new position move them there, before closing. On reopening they will appear on the position they were, when you closed them. 4. The settings dialogue will appear on the screen you've opened it from with my fix applied, but I am too lazy to make another video showing that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After applying the fix in #29 , when I set the CCSM>>General Options>>Display settings to "Smart Mode" , if I click the sound settings from the sound applet on the smaller display, the settings dialog appears still on the larger display. I don't think it's right behavior.

Here you can see the fix in action. Other Place Plugin settings also work now, but this is the preferred behaviour for most multi-display users. ** Attachment added: "Unity and Place working together in harmony ;)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/874146/+attachment/3406177/+files/UnityAndPlacePluginWorkingTogether.webm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 874146] Re: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored
For all of you, who do not want until the fix is available via update can simply edit the .xml files in /usr/share/compiz, namely unityshell.xml and place.xml. 1. In unityshell.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/unityshell.xml) remove the line place in the block. 2. In place.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/place.xml) add the line unityshell in the block. Done :) Enjoy a working Place plug-in and make sure to adjust the settings to your needs via CCSM->Window Management->Place Windows Plugin (sudo apt- get install compizconfig-settings-manager). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 874146] Re: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored
The problem here is (once again) that unityshell loads after the place plugin and overrides its settings. Also the standard setting of the Place plugin is not optimal if multi- monitors are used, because the standard setting for Multi Output Mode is set to "Use active output device", which is better than not working at all, but "Use output device with pointer" as the users attention is usually there. The fix for this problem makes changes to unityshell.xml.in and place.xml.in, so changes to lp:unity and lp:compiz are involved here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
