Public bug reported: Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk
I am running the Ubuntu 8.04 beta as a live-cd, from the installation CD (ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso) in an emulator - VirtualBox 1.5.6 (binary/closed-source version, VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Win_x86.msi available from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ). I can forward a saved virtual machine image if you have difficulty reproducing this bug. This report might duplicate Bug #153389 and/or Bug #206619 Summary of problem: If I change the 'model' of my display in displayconfig-gtk, then press 'test', then confirm the test was OK, then I 'OK' out of displayconfig-gtk, I do not get a message and the changed settings are not saved. However, if I perform the same change of model and 'OK' out of displayconfig-gtk without performing a test, I get a message telling me all users must log out, and after doing so my change takes effect. Steps to reproduce: Demonstration of expected behaviour: 1. Boot ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso as live-cd in VirtualBox 1.5.6 emulator (bug probably exists in other situations/configurations) 2. When presented with 800x600 screen, start terminal and run 'sudo displayconfig-gtk' 3. 'Model' is 'Plug 'n' Play'; 'Resolution' is '800x600 at 61Hz' 4. Click 'Plug 'n' Play' button to change to different model 5. Select manufacturer 'Generic' and Model 'LCD Panel 1024x768' 6. Press 'OK' to accept monitor selection 7. Model is now 'LCD Panel 1024x768' 8. Leave resolution and refresh rate unchanged, at 800x600. 9. DO NOT PRESS TEST 10. Press 'OK' to save new settings. 11. Message displayed: 'All users must log off for the changes to take effect' 12. Press 'Close' 13. Log out. 14. Display resolution changes to 1024x768 (this is itself unexpected as 800x600 was selected, but that is not the subject of this bug report) 15. Bask in the glow of a successfully reconfigured screen. Demonstration of unexpected behaviour: 16. Perform steps 1 to 8 (restarting live-cd resets xorg.conf, thereby returning you to 800x600 resolution) 17. Press 'Test' 18. Screen resolution changes to 1024x768 19. Message displayed: 'Do you want to keep the current configuration? Your new configuration will be reverted to the previous one in 15 seconds' 20. Choose 'Keep configuration' 21. You are returned to 'Screen and Graphics Preferences' 22. Observe that 'Model' remains 'LCD Panel 1024x768' and 'Resolution' remains '800x600 at 60Hz' (identical to step 9) 23. Press 'OK' to save new settings (as step 10) 24. Message from step 11 is not displayed 25. Log out and observe lack of resolution change. 26. Log back in; run sudo displayconfig-gtk 27. Screen 'Model' is returned to 'Plug 'n' Play' I encountered a similar behaviour in Ubuntu 7.10, both installed and from Live-CD I will post before/after xorg.conf files shortly (though they may not show much) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Mar 26 14:56:08 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python2.5 Package: displayconfig-gtk 0.3.9 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: displayconfig-gtk Uname: Linux 2.6.24-12-generic i686 ** Affects: displayconfig-gtk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- displayconfig-gtk discards changes to 'model' if test button used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
