Further information: The issue appears to be that the external monitor is disabled when GDM loads. The Ubuntu boot splash screen appears, but when GDM starts, the external monitor is disabled. If I log-in blindly, the external monitor is reactivated according to my GNOME settings (in this case, mirror displays). -- GDM only displays on internal monitor even when external is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

As a reminder, this wasn't a problem at all under 10.04; it started immediately upon upgrade to 10.10 beta. -- GDM only displays on internal monitor even when external is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 634314] Re: GDM only displays on internal monitor even when external is available
POTENTIAL WORKAROUND = The issue appears to be at least partially due to the fact that the per- user monitor configuration (/home/user/.config/monitors.xml) is not being installed systemwide. If I manually create /etc/gnome-settings- daemon/xrandr/ and run gnome-display-settings-install-systemwide, the issue is resolved. This raises a few questions: * Which package actually contains the root cause of the bug? It would appear to not be GDM's fault. I'm afraid I don't know enough about how Ubuntu is structured to find out for myself. * What should be done upon install? The default, IMHO, should be to mirror all displays by default, so that if a user is installing on a laptop with a docking station, they don't loose their login display. -- GDM only displays on internal monitor even when external is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/634314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
