Title:
Gnome Control Centre Display configuration throws error
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I am able to launch and run the Gnome monitor/display control utility
by launching the following in Lubuntu 13.04
sudo gnome-control-center display
...but whenever I try to actually trigger a change to the display
layout, it throws the following error in a dialog...
Failed to apply configuration: %s
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files
I suspect this is because some dependency of gnome-control-center is
implicit. Perhaps there is a service which I need to manually start
before this will succeed.
This is important as the behaviour of the Gnome monitor control is
much richer than other xrandr wrappers like lxrandr or arandr, and in
general having access to gnome controls (e.g. for mouse configuration)
would be far preferable to the minimal Lubuntu ones.
In particular I would like to retain control of which is the primary
screen (in Compiz and LXDE) so that the panel stays on the correct
monitor, regardless of the specific layout (currently with the correct
layout for the physical placement of my monitors, the panel arrives on
the wrong monitor and is invisible). This feature only seems to exist
within the Gnome control panel.
