Title:
monitors.xml settings from the display applet can make gnome unusable
on next login
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I was trying to switch the "primary" monitor for Ubuntu and after some
back-n-forth, both monitors went blank.
Switched to a text console, restarted gdm and after logging in the
monitors both went blank.
Upgraded everything and got the same problem.
Finally managed to get firefox up with a minimal .xinitrc and found
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution which told me to look at
~/.config/monitors.xml. I edited the file in emacs (from which I have
the original, buggy monitors.xml~ file) and managed to get a working
session.
Looking at the diffs, I'm not sure *why* the buggy setup blanked both
monitors and I haven't logged in again with what I think is the bad
monitors.xml to confirm it.
I'll submit this bug and my monitors.xml + diff and then try to verify
that the monitors.xml that I think causes the problems actually does.
BBIAS ;)
