Do you get the issue in a guest session? Could you also run "gnome-settings-daemon --debug -r", reproduce the bug and see what is written in the output when that happens?
It would be interesting to have the output of "xrandr -q" and the content of ~/.config/monitors.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239265 Title: Opening any settings page resets displays Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Most times when I open, for example, sound settings (from the indicator menu or from the dash), my display configuration resets and all my monitors are turned off, leaving only the laptop screen on, as if I went to display settings and choose to turn off both monitors. If I click in "Detect Displays", the previous configuration is restored automatically. Also, every time I spend enough time away from the computer and the displays turn off, when I come back only the laptop display is on. I have to open display settings and it automatically sets back to what it was before, I don't even need to click on "Detect Displays" in this case. Note 1: When I'm normally using the computer and I open the settings and get this error, if I close it and open another settings in the next 10 minutes or so the problem doesn't happen. Note 2: This problem doesn't happen if I merely lock the screen. It needs to become idle and the displays to turn off (it seems). So it seems Ubuntu is having a hard time to remember my display settings, and it seems to load this wrong default every time any settings are called, causing the displays to turn off. I have a X220 in a minidock, with two monitors plugged in the DVI ports. The configuration resets most times I open any settings, and this happens whether I'm with both monitors on and laptop display off, or only one monitor and the laptop display both on. --- ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-27 (138 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20130213) MarkForUpload: True Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu43 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-9.16-generic 3.11.2 Tags: saucy Uname: Linux 3.11.0-9-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-07-29 (76 days ago) UserGroups: adm audio cdrom dialout dip fuse libvirtd lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare scanner sudo vboxusers video usr_lib_gnome-control-center: activity-log-manager 0.9.7-0ubuntu4 deja-dup 27.3.1-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-datetime 13.10.0+13.10.20131011-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-signon 0.1.7~+13.10.20130724.1-0ubuntu1 gnome-control-center-unity 1.3+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1239265/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
