Hi everybody ! I just found one point that can really be improved in future releases of Ubuntu. In a first time I will explain how I found it, in a second time what I think about and the third point (the most important), a proposition to get rid of this lack...
I got Ubuntu because I was worried about Windows (it's slow, it has a lot of glitches,...). With Ubuntu I can work without complications, until today... I bought a TV and wanted to connect it through HDMI cable. I configured my nvidia-settings and chose digital audio ouptut. It works fine, but... Every time I reconnect my TV, I must : - Manually detect connected screens - Set the correct screen settings - Change audio output to digital Every time I disconnect my TV, I must : - Set the correct screen settings (before disconnecting) - Change audio output to analog (otherwise laptop speakers don't work). In Windows, it works automatically in the most cases (sometimes not, it's just another Windows glitch...). I think that it's a pain for end-users (in this case I am) to have to always (re)set these damn settings to watch a movie, to connect a projector, to connect the external display. I know that's possible to script that, but as an end-user, I just don't want to : I want to use my computer and not to configure it all the time. When I connect my usb flash drive, it's automatically mounted and ready-to-use. Why it isn't the same with external displays ? A way to fix this problem, is to create something such as an "hardware profile" that contains settings and when a new display and/or audio output are detected (I think it's possible to detect a hardware change), a window / widget asks the user if he want's to apply saved settings or if he want's to set new settings. What do you think about that ?
