[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1612241] [NEW] Display blinking on MST Dual Monitors
Public bug reported: I have two Dell U2715H monitors, one running in MST 2.0 mode, one running in MST 1.0 mode (the terminator). My laptop is plugged via mini display port into the MST 2.0 enabled monitor. The MST 1.0 monitor is daisychained from displayport out on the MST 2.0 monitor, to the displayport in on the MST 1.0 monitor. I'm using the default cabling provided with the monitors. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 The laptop is a Dell XPS 13 9333 - it is plugged into the mains. Cables are not loose. The setup works almost without issue, but: Actual Result: 1. The monitors take it in turns to blink once - off, then back on, for 4 seconds at a time, seemingly randomly. 2. Any given monitor often blinks off, 4 seconds, then on when pressing play on a youtube video 3. Any given monitor usually blinks off, 4 seconds, then on when dragging a window from the other monitor, onto it. Expected result: Monitors should be constantly on, at all times.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 589520] Re: [KM400]Haven't been able to execute normal gnome login since 10.04 installation; screen blanks then returns to login screen
This is also affecting my Dell Mini 1010 - the one with the horrendous gma500/poulsbo chipset. The suggested workaround doesn't work, moving .compiz, .gnome2 or .config or .dbus out of the way does not help, but I can log in under failsafe gnome without issue. Completely stumped. I am seeing the exact same in my /var/log/syslog/ as the bug author sees in the original bug report, i.e. this part: Jun 4 13:15:36 saltcreek gdm-simple-greeter[2530]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.20.0/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5636: widget not within a GtkWindow Jun 4 13:15:39 saltcreek gdm-session-worker[2532]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed Could this be a GTK bug? It's a real blocker as I really can't afford to reinstall right now, and I can only assume I'm not the only one. ** Also affects: gma500 Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [KM400]Haven't been able to execute normal gnome login since 10.04 installation; screen blanks then returns to login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Have added duplicate status on another bug which points to this one as the descriptions of the problem are exactly what I see. I am going to upgrade to Karmic soon and will see if this issue still occurs with the new -ati stack. -- Xorg randomly crashes to shell with multicoloured box on text-console and doesn't restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 452316] [NEW] Xorg randomly crashes to shell with multicoloured box on text-console and doesn't restart
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati Usually it's when I click an item in my taskbar (Which is at the top of my second monitor). I have dual widescreen, Dell. THe card is an ATi Radeon HD 2400 XT Today it did it when my machine was under heavy load and I clicked calendar. It wont reload X automatically, I have to reboot. This has happened to me for maybe 1 year now, it stopped 5 months ago, for 3 months, and is now back. It is happening every single day now. The screens drop to the text display, show a big multicoloured box, then flash back to the information which was on my console before GDM started up.
