[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1727696] [NEW] System does not shut down without Ctrl+Alt+F7
Public bug reported: This is a fresh 17.10 installation, for some reason defaulting to Xorg instead of wayland (no choice given in the login screen). Anyway, shutting down from X session doesn't work. Screen stays blank black, cursor blinking in top left corner. Seems like it's stuck there forever (haven't had patience to wait long enough). Found a workaround: in the black screen cursor blinking state above, hit Ctrl+Alt+F7. One second or so after that, the system shuts down cleanly every time.

Wow, this is fixed after all now for me, somewhere between xwayland and/or xserver* 2:1.19.3-1ubuntu7 -> 2:1.19.4-1ubuntu2. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722708 Title: Crash when setting laptop display resolution Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This system has a 4k laptop screen with resolution 3840x2160, and an external HP monitor connected via HDMI, resolution 1920x1200.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1722708] Re: Crash when setting laptop display resolution
Not quite; with X the screens flicker a couple of times, somehow change resolution temporarily, but then come back with the original settings. With the X case (don't remember checking the wayland one), when I start the resolution modification, I see things like this when starting gnome- control-center from the console: (gnome-control-center:15810): display-cc-panel-WARNING **: Config not applicable: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Logical monitor scales must be identical ...and the Apply button does not show up. When I change the external monitor to 100% scaling, the Apply button appears and is enabled, then clicking on it gives this stuff on console while the flickering etc occurs: (gnome-control-center:15810): display-cc-panel-WARNING **: Config not applicable: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying (gnome-control-center:15810): display-cc-panel-WARNING **: Config not applicable: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Name "org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig" does not exist ...and then, after that, finally this on the console: (gnome-control-center:15810): display-cc-panel-WARNING **: Config not applicable: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: The requested configuration is based on stale information -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722708 Title: Crash when setting laptop display resolution Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This system has a 4k laptop screen with resolution 3840x2160, and an external HP monitor connected via HDMI, resolution 1920x1200.

However, when doing that, the X (wayland, not sure if the package is correct here) session crashes and brings me back to login screen. So to summarize: connect the external monitor, go to Settings > Devices > Displays, click primary built in display, observe that it shows Resolution 3840x2160 (16:9) and Scale 200%, change resolution to 1920x1080 (16:9), click Apply --> crash.
