[Bug 1066048] Re: corrupt monitors.xml makes gnome unusable
Ok, I've managed to reproduce this problem and have a monitors.xml that reliably produces it for me. The 1366x768 configuration for my laptop does not seem to work when I have a 1920x1200 monitor attached. When the 1920 monitor is attached, the laptop works when it is set to 1360x768. I'm not sure what the difference is other than those 6 rows of pixels. I have it hooked up to a 1280x1024 external monitor right now and the 1366 resolution doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Attaching a configuration I just tested. It works until I log in and then fails. After I hit super-p or some other key combo to get switch monitor configs, it becomes somewhat usable. In this case, I've edited monitors.xml so that the primary monitor in the config to be the external monitor. Note that although the LCD shows as active here, nothing is displayed on it. ** Attachment added: monitors.xml https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1066048/+attachment/3398948/+files/monitors.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066048 Title: corrupt monitors.xml makes gnome unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1066048/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Ok, the 1366 mode is causing problems no matter what external monitor is attached. I think it does it more reliably fails with the larger external screen. Switching the last monitors.xml to 1360 seems to allow it to work. ** Summary changed: - corrupt monitors.xml makes gnome unusable + monitors.xml settings from the display applet can make gnome unusable on next login -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066048 Title: monitors.xml settings from the display applet can make gnome unusable on next login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1066048/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Ok, that diff doesn't produce the bad monitors.xml. I'll have to try later to reproduce the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066048 Title: corrupt monitors.xml makes gnome unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1066048/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
