Yeah I happened to notice the exact same thing today. I have REALLY unstable sessions when having dual monitors plugged in. Either I randomly loose dual monitor setup (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/921540) as well as sometimes having my desktop crash when connecting the screen in a live desktop session (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926637). Neither of those bugs getting any attention btw.
Anyway so to avoid at least one of those bugs, and the frequent loss of data, I logged out yesterday and connected the monitor. To my surprise I could see that cool new feature when only one screen has the login screen and the other has the ubuntu logo. Moving my mouse between the screens switches the login screen to the focused screen. If this works then what is not working during boot? Also does everyone else who's experiencing this bug also have NO boot splash just a completely corrupted purply screen? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874241 Title: Wrong resolutions in lightdm login screen when using external monitor connected to laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/874241/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
