Title:
gnome-settings-daemon trashes monitor config
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “unity-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This is actually a bug in unity-settings-daemon and gnome-settings-
daemon. To reproduce:
1. Have Nvidia multimonitor layout.
2. Position the monitors however you want.
3. Run g-s-d or u-s-d.
Expected result: Monitor layout does not change.
Actual result: Monitor layout is reset to default.
Original description:
To reproduce:
1. Have a multimonitor set up with nvidia
2. Position the monitors however you like.
3. Save the positions to xorg.conf
4. Log out
Expected result: the configured monitor positions are used at the
login screen.
Actual result: the monitor positions are all reset to default, and
this configuration persists past login, forcing the user to
reconfigure monitor positioning after each login.
Impact: When I boot up my computer with unity-greeter I see what is
shown in the photo, regardless of how I attempt to configure the
monitor layout.
This bug does not affect lightdm-gtk-greeter or lightdm-webkit-
greeter, which both correctly honour the Xorg configuration.
This is also a regression, unity-greeter honoured the layout in 13.10.
