[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
In the absence of ~/.config/monitors.xml (meaning the user has never pressed the 'Keep Changes' button), Mutter will start up in a linear layout with all monitors turned on. I think you can sometimes see this on Xdcv login (and always see it on Xorg login), but for some reason the secondary monitors quickly turn off again for Xdcv. But Mutter only remembers turning on all monitors and so that's the config it will revert to when you click 'Revert Settings'. I don't think it's worth the effort to engineer entirely new xrandr detection logic in Mutter to solve this for Xdcv only. It would be significant work and take a long time to implement, for a very narrow use case. Instead I'd recommend either: (a) Modifying Xdcv to never connect virtual monitors you don't want to see, until the user virtually connects them; or (b) Installing a default ~/.config/monitors.xml in which unused monitors are in the section. You can draft such a file using the Settings GUI and clicking 'Keep Changes'. So that part is now an enhancement request, not a bug. If anyone still wants it implemented then please mention it at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues As for the original bug 2020782 here, that's solved by upstream merge request: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3062 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
I can reproduce "other monitors getting turned on at Revert" using upstream Mutter on Xorg. Seems it's something of a feature because Mutter only supports: (a) An explicit monitor layout in ~/.config/monitors.xml ; or (b) An implicit monitor layout where everything gets turned on and arranged linearly. There is no third option: (c) A detected monitor layout from xrandr when ~/.config/monitors.xml doesn't exist yet (no config ever applied yet). So I can see this being low priority to upstream and it probably only matters to Xdcv, but it is an upstream Mutter bug/feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Also the virtual monitors turning on at revert stops happening if you get your config file (~/.config/monitors.xml) to a state where the secondary monitors are explicitly listed as .

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
Daniel, A few items to make sure I'm on the same page: 1. So, IIUC, you're saying that the "final fix" should be the vv5 package, which contains the fix to the zero hz bug (loosening mutter to accept zero-Hz, as this is the bogus refresh rate being reported by Xdcv) + the caveat for AWS to either fix Xdcv or never try to enable Fractional scaling in the instance (details in your comment#16), is that so? 2. Regarding your comment on bug 1857392 and bug 2007742 being present, iiuc they do not have a noticeable impact (other than spamming the log). 3. Also, I need to mention that I went ahead and tried once more the vv5 package on a AWS Workspace, and I can no longer reproduce the blank screen. Now I see these logs [1] and the scale does get reverted from 200% to 100%. https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JpVsjbQzsQ/ 4.

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
Those logs from Xfce and Budgie look surprising to me. They don't prove that the DCV viewer/server bug doesn't exist there because they seem to have failed to turn on VNC-output-1. So the bug probably still exists in DCV viewer/server but hasn't been triggered yet. Maybe you need to select the 800x600 resolution mode explicitly instead of --auto? The only relevant error messages in that last log are from the fractional scaling patch, where basically this is failing: xrandr --output VNC-output-0 --scale 1x1 which as mentioned above I thought was a bug in Xdcv and now in the proprietary NVIDIA driver too. But since the latter works, and we have been able to progress without fixing this, I think we can ignore those messages: Impossible to set scaling on crtc 65 to 1.00, error id 2 Window manager warning: Scalig CRTC 65 at 1.00 failed Also, the other messages in that last log are unrelated this bug.

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
Hi Daniel,
Thanks again, and I totally agree that we need to focus on the revert
resolution issue in this LP bug. I wasn't willing to discuss the other
issues here, but to summarize my understanding so far, so as to make
sure we are on the same page.
Also, I tested "xrandr --output VNC-output-1 --auto" to enable another
monitor using Budgie and Xfce (I believe none of them use mutter), and I
can't reproduce the "blank screen". It doesn't really do anything, but
also doesn't reproduce the blank screen issue.
This is what I see in Xfce:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/BNs9KJqbHz/
And Budgie:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/pKTGzJb8bN/
My previous suggestion (patch with zero hz fix + no fractional scaling)
was because I thought vv1 was also exposed to the issue you mentioned on
comment #19 ("fractional scaling patch is trying to implement the revert
using fractional scaling"), but I guess not, and it still fails with the
"Invalid mode 800x600 (-nan)" errors, which is the zero hz issue, and
led us to vv2 and then vv4.
So, the current situation is that either with vv4 (zero hz patch + no
fractional scaling) OR vv5 with fractional scaling disabled (zero hz
patch included) we get to the situation where the extra monitors are
automatically enabled and the resolution is changed to 800x600:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/k822YMHM5v/
And IIUC this is what needs to be investigated next.
And no need to apologize if not able to respond this daily, completely
understandable and you're already doing a lot for this bug. Thank you
very very much for that!
I'll also be OoO for the next couple of days, back on Monday anyway.
Cheers,
Fabio Martins

If you manually disable 3 monitors (keeping only one) and then try to apply / revert 200% scale, it errors [1] and sets resolution back to 800x600 3 - When enabling unused monitors in Workspaces, we get a blank screen (which I've confirmed through cinnamon / xrandr that it must be a problem with the Workspaces client when enabling a monitor) For the "zero Hz" problem, if I understand correctly, it is a bogus issue without a noticeable impact in usage. On the other hand, due to the "zero Hz" fix introducing problems 2 and 2a above, I'm skeptical on validating that avoiding fractional scaling fixes our issue (item 1 above). If the "zero hz" issue is really just bogus, should we try a "vv6" build completely disabling fractional scaling for the Xdcv use case (on apply and revert), but not including the "zero hz" fix? This way we would be able to validate item 1 above (even if we see the zero hz bogus messages, which we can ignore for now). If this succeeds, we can investigate the item 3 above separately, so we can then re-introduce the "zero hz" fix.

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
I've also tested the "vv5" package in a fresh VM and can confirm that zero hz is now supported, and now facing the same scenario where multiple monitors are automatically enabled. Another issue that still stands is the "config history" issue I've mentioned. If you exclusively change the resolution from gnome display settings, it can apply a new resolution and revert to a previous config (via the timeout prompt) without any issue. But when the resolution is changed via the NICE DCV client's options (or via `xrandr` for that matter), mutter does not register that resolution change in `config_history`, and cannot revert back to the previous config when prompted. This is reproducible with just the default gnome desktop environment and the `xrandr` The reproducer is as follows: (assume that the initial resolution is 1920x1080) - Set a resolution via `xrandr`, e.g. (1366x768) - Open gnome display settings, and try to set the resolution to 1024x768 - Press "revert back" when prompted - The resolution will not go back to 1366x768 as it should and will stay at 1024x768 I've debugged this and noticed that gnome display settings use mutter's org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig DBus interface and calls ApplyMonitorsConfig for resolution changes, whereas neither NICE DCV nor xrandr does that, so mutter is not notified about the change. I guess this will need a separate issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Try logging into a non-GNOME Xorg session on Workspaces if you can. Then use the 'xrandr' command to set a mode to turn on one of the unused virtual monitors.

It's vv4 that has no fractional scaling, and vv5 reintroduced fractional scaling leaving only the "zero Hz" fix in vv5. The 3 unused monitors turning on is a side-effect of the "zero Hz" fix working. I can't tell if it's a bug or a feature right now. If it is a bug then it might be a bug in the Settings app or in mutter.

Although Mustafa says he's not well-versed, he's way smarter than me :) So his comment#26 seems to be much more relevant than what I have to say, but I'd like to reply to Daniel's comment#24/25 anyway: I saw the details you mentioned on comment #16, and I also have fractional scaling turned off. By "having it off" I'm assuming this [1] is enough, right? Also, I noticed that by previous pasteboard wasn't too clear in showing the problem when I use 42.5-0ubuntu1vv5. I want to clarify that I get a screen as if I had 3 monitors side by side, but all in the same "client monitor". If you try to maximize the application, it picks one of the "screens" and maximizes to it, as we can see here [2]. Even without changing the fractional scale or scale setting, just by having the 42.5-0ubuntu1vv5 packages installed, I get this "triple monitor in 1" situation when I boot my VM. I had to reinstall the original packages from our archives in order to fix this. Also, I just want to make sure you're aware that these are the *mutter* packages that I have installed: ubuntu@jammy-dcv:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mutter ii gir1.2-mutter-10:amd64 42.5-0ubuntu1 amd64GObject introspection data for Mutter ii libmutter-10-0:amd6442.5-0ubuntu1 amd64window manager library from the Mutter window manager ii mutter-common 42.5-0ubuntu1 all shared files for the Mutter window manager i.e. Just want to make clear that I don't have the "mutter" package installed, but the ones above. Back to your comment, iiuc, the "Impossible to set scaling on crtc 65 to 1.00, error id 2" means that we're trying to use some incomplete RandR implementation in Xdcv. Isn't it the fractional scaling, that was effectively removed from your 42.5-0ubuntu1vv5 package? In this case, doesn't the errors showing up means that we're still trying to use something that isn't properly implemented in Xdcv? Just for my own information, what's the difference between the vv5 and vv4 builds? Tested with vv4 in a VM: ubuntu@jammy-dcv:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep mutter ii gir1.2-mutter-10:amd64 42.5-0ubuntu1vv4 amd64GObject introspection data for Mutter ii libmutter-10-0:amd64 42.5-0ubuntu1vv4 amd64window manager library from the Mutter window manager ii mutter-common 42.5-0ubuntu1vv4 all shared files for the Mutter window manager As soon as I installed it in my VM, I got that "triple monitor" situation again, and then I realized it's really just what you had described, that it automatically enables these other monitors. I can disable them and get back to 1 single monitor. With vv4, I can apply the scale 200% [3] and then revert it, but then it changes my resolution to 800x600. After realizing that, I went back to the vv5 package and re-tested and I notice it's the same behavior as in vv4. After installing it automatically enables all 4 monitors, I have to manually disable them and keep just 1. Then I test the scale to 200% + revert and it does revert, but also changes my resolution to 800x600. I can't really test that in Workspaces, because when it enables the extra monitors, I'm no longer able to access the Workspace with the AWS Workspaces client. If I try to change the scale in Workspaces, I believe it tries to enable the other monitors, and then all I get is a blank screen.

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
Hello Daniel, I've also been debugging this issue and noticed something weird while reproducing it. It seems that resizing the screen via resizing the NICE DCV client does not invoke the `meta_monitor_config_manager_set_current` method, so the current config and the history are untouched. Let's say we have an initial resolution of QxZ@T hz, sf 1(scale factor). The NICE DCV client screen resize changes it to WxH@F sf 1.5, but libmutter still thinks the screen is at QxZ@T sf 1. At this point, `xrandr` output no longer shows QxZ@T hz as a supported resolution. When the user tries to change the scale, the change is registered as both the resolution change and the scale change as per the perspective of "libmutter", and if the user proceeds to accept this configuration, everything is fine because the Xdcv already lists `WxH@F` as a supported resolution, but if not (i.e. user tries to revert back to the previous) it fails because QxZ@T hz is no longer on the supported resolution set. Therefore, I think one of the problems we're facing here is libmutter/Xdcv being out-of-sync when the screen resolution is changed via the NICE DCV client. I'm currently looking into how we can reflect the client resolutions to libmutter (I'm not well-versed in mutter codebase so progressing a little bit slow) I'll continue to post my findings as I progress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
Yes I think when using Xdcv we just need to make sure fractional scaling is ALWAYS DISABLED and ignore any bugs that occur if it is enabled, for the time being. :( While Xdcv reports its RandR version is 1.6, when you try to actually use it (you can test with xrandr --scale or --transform) it will report BadValue which is the cause of: Impossible to set scaling on crtc 59 to 1.00, error id 2 And our fractional scaling patch does try to do the right thing - it queries the RandR version and only enables when the reported version is at least 1.3. Since Xdcv reports version 1.6 and returns errors instead of implementing the feature, it's Xdcv at fault there and we have no easy way to work around it either. Just keep fractional scaling always disabled is what I would recommend. The fractional scaling patch is possibly also at fault for not cleanly recovering from the unexpected RandR errors, but this error message: Impossible to set scaling on crtc 59 to 1.00, error id 2 suggests that it's the recovery/revert that's failing due to the incomplete RandR implementation in Xdcv. So actually I can't imagine how the fractional scaling patch could do better without Xdcv getting fixed first. Just disable fractional scaling I say. I think I have been able to hit the bug without fractional scaling but it might have been some residue on the mutter side if it was started with fractional scaling enabled. So please check again: 1. Disable fractional scaling. 2. Log out of gnome-shell and restart the test session. 3. Try to change the scale between 100% and 200% again. 4.

[Bug 2020782] Re: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails
This is interesting: > Impossible to set scaling on crtc 59 to 1.00, error id 2 Error 2 is BadValue and I can reproduce similar on the command line: $ xrandr --output VNC-output-0 --scale 1x1 # or 2x2, 0.5x0.5 This works in Xorg but seems to always fail in Xdcv with error BadValue (2). And the same with: $ xrandr --output VNC-output-0 --filter nearest # or bilinear Works in Xorg but not in Xdcv. So fractional scaling failing is expected on Xdcv, but I don't think those functions are historically needed for integer scaling. Only our fractional scaling patch tries to use them unconditionally for integer scaling. So that's both a unique failure to the fractional scaling patch and also not its fault -- failing to change the scaling matrix is a failure on the Xdcv side. In summary we should probably only be trying to fix the fractional scaling OFF case here. Because that's probably the only mode that Xdcv can handle in theory. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2020782 Title: Xdcv: Changing display scale setting and reverting it fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2020782/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
