[Bug 1492820] Re: unity greeter does not respect if a screen is in portrait orientation
** Description changed: Ubuntu 15.04 unity-greeter 15.04.4-0ubuntu1 I have two screens. The main screen is in landscape orientation, the second screen is in portrait orientation. The unity greeter displays the wallpaper on the second screen as if the screen was also in landscape orientation, so it appears 90° rotated. - I would like to have the wallpaper on the second screen rotated - correctly or not displayed at all (just a black screen). + There seems to be now way to configure the screen arrangement and + orientation for the unity greeter. Also screens can have different + aspect ratios which makes it difficult to automatically display + wallpapers in an aesthetically pleasing manner. It would probably be + best to only display the wallpaper and login prompt on the main display + and leave all other screens black. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492820 Title: unity greeter does not respect if a screen is in portrait orientation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1492820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1492820] Re: unity greeter does not respect if a screen is in portrait orientation
I just found more weird behaviour of the greeter: after resuming from "suspend" with a logged in session, the second screen wallpaper was rotated correctly, but filled the whole screen an hence appeared squished. When I restarted the PC and got to the greeter login screen again, the second wallpaper was again rotated the wrong way. I started typing my password and then pressed Escape - suddenly the login prompt was moved to the second screen (still 90° rotated). So to summarize: - Since the wallpaper for additional screens can not be configured properly (aspect ratio and orientation of screens might be different), it's probably best, to not display any wallpaper on the additional screens. - Detection of the main screen on which to show the login prompt is not "reliable" I use the NVIDIA driver 355.06 by the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492820 Title: unity greeter does not respect if a screen is in portrait orientation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1492820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
