Thanks. Yes indeed the X server has zero monitors attached, but still has a usable desktop area of 1024x768. For gnome-shell this just means it won't draw any panel/launcher etc. Because it prefers to only do that on the primary monitor, which there is none.
Next please report the bug to the gnome-shell developers at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues and then tell us the new issue ID. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881687 Title: Desktop is blank after logging in without a monitor attached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1881687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
