Public bug reported: Using gnome-settings-daemon 3.18.2-0ubuntu3.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Logging in with a new user account, my two monitors are the wrong way round. I can fix for this user by right-click; run "Display Settings" and manually reconfiguring. This creates ~/.config/monitors.xml I now copy that file to /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml - I expect this to apply to all other users on this PC: $ gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr default-configuration-file '/etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml' When other users log in, they still get the incorrect display setup. It looks like /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml is having no effect. ** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "monitors.xml" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620358/+attachment/4734979/+files/monitors.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620358 Title: System-wide monitors.xml is ignored Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using gnome-settings-daemon 3.18.2-0ubuntu3.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Logging in with a new user account, my two monitors are the wrong way round.
