Title:
gnome-shell crash using ubuntu-dock with dual monitors
Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock source package in Bionic:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ Description ]
Using Ubuntu 17.04 on a laptop with an external display on its right
hand side all is well with dash-to-dock provided the laptop display is
set to the primary display. However if I set the external display to
be the primary display (with dash-to-dock disabled) then as soon as I
enable it gnome-shell crashes and I am logged off. See attached
excerpt from syslog. I have to remove .local/share/gnome-shell in
order to recover the situation.
[ Test case ]
Plug an external monitor to a laptop, with the external monitor on the
right side and configure the externals primary monitor.
Login and Logout
Gnome shell shouold not crash.
[ Regression Potential ]
The dock won't be temporarily shown in a monitor
---
To replicate on Artful daily on a laptop, plug in an external monitor
with the external monitor to the right of the laptop and configure the
external monitor as the primary display. On configuration it works ok,
but on logging out and back in gnome-shell crashes. The problem is
only seen if the external monitor is the primary display.
I think it likely that this is the same issue reported for dash-to-dock:
