[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Wow, what a day. Hoping for relieve on this bug I apt-get install'ed xfce. It has the same problem with a crashing settings-deamon (it has its own). And I noticed that even xrandr just crashed on, what I think, where completely sane inputs with a floating point exception. And I did not really like the output of xrandr showing LVDS2, LVDS-1-0, VGA-1-1, VGA2 with at least three of them always in a connected state. My impression is that this is a source for confusion. The reason may be that my laptop has what I reckon is hybrid graphics, i.e. two graphics cards: % lspci |grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV635/M86 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650] Then I noticed that I had not installed fglrx. I apt-get install'ed it, rebooted, logged into gnome3 as well as xfce, fixed the display settings to my likings, rebooted, logged in and, wow, it is still there. The remarkable part about xrandr output: It has now LVDS1, VGA1, LVDS-1-1, VGA-1-1, but no '2' and only the first two are listed as connected. So in the end it seems this is rather a bug of whatever Xorg driver was superseeded by fglrx (I am not at all an expert of these drivers of X). I wonder if all others affected by this bug have hybrid graphics too. Lets see if the settings survive one more reboot. -- 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/1292398 Title: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Well, what is strange is that lsmod does not show fglrx.

[Bug 1284308] Re: Can't copy files from a bluetooth device: Another operation in progress
Can confirm the workaround of johannes (#50) on Linux Mint DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela" I had a file browser open listing the device under its name after using a "browse files on device" button in one of the bluetooth applets. I had to "eject" this device in the file browser. Then obexfs -b 03:12:0F:38:89:9C ~/tmp/bluetooth-mount-point after creating the empty directory and then I could access the folders on my phone (age old Samsung Gio, Android 2.2). (Reminder and unrelated to this issue: no files could be seen, in the folders.

[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
What do you mean "on the left"? Somehow it is hard to believe the actual physical location should be important. But clearly one of the monitors must be listed first in monitors.xml and gets x,y=0,0 assigned, while the other monitor is then relative to this one. So we have three properties a monitor can have: 1) internal laptop or external (or put it: hardware's main monitor and additional monitor) 2) has the gnome panel or not 3) is listed with x,y=0,0 as reference in monitors.xml Makes 8 possibilities. Argh, do I really want to try them now? (BTW: my monitors are stacked up vertically, the external one on top has the panel. And, hell, I just notice my monitors.xml gathered 3 configurations meanwhile. Ohh my.) -- 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/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1292398] Re: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Now here is something that did help. In effect it is likely much the same as killing gnome-settings-manager, except it is not killed, but just started later: sudo echo manual >/usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings- daemon.override This prevents the gnome-settings-daemon to be started by the 'init --user' session manager. I thought now the gnome-settings-daemon might be started by one of /usr/share/upstart/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop but these don't seem to do anything. Therefore I created a ~/.config/autostart/gsd.desktop which starts gnome-settings-daemon. The downside of this approach in contrast to the kill-approach is that the if the daemon falls over, it is not automatically restarted. Obviously it helps to start the daemon rather later than earlier. Looking at the preconditions in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-settings-daemon.conf, they are start on started dbus and starting gnome-session INSTANCE=GNOME There is probably only one little thing missing here, but I have no background to guess what it might be. -- 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/1292398 Title: multi-monitor : second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Tried the approach of thw-th (comment #46) and it kind of works. This is an 8 year old Lenovo T500 laptop and I had to enter 6 seconds delay before it started to work. A downside is that my selected desktop background image is not set, or rather removed that way: it is set at some time first, then monitors flash, and flicker like many brokens settings are tried until finally presumably gnome-settings-daemon puts some order onto it, but with a completely black desktop. When using the settings UI to set the background, it looks like it should actually be set. :-( -- 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/1292398 Title: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If the login screen is not properly set, it may actually help to copy a working monitors.xml to /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr.
