[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
N! This was working great since my post #73 above until I rebooted this morning. Now the launcher is back to being stuck all the way on the left monitor and the settings-Displays does not have the black bar for me to drag the launcher back to the middle of my desktop (left side of my primary monitor). I am still on Daniels PPA as far as I can tell: $ dpkg -l | grep unity | grep vv ii libunity-core-4.0-4 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv3 Core library for the Unity interface. ii unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv3 Interface designed for efficiency of space and interaction. ii unity-common 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv3 Common files for the Unity interface. ii unity-services4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1vv3 Services for the Unity interface $ xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 3840 x 1200, current 3840 x 1200, maximum 3840 x 1200 default connected 3840x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 3840x1200 50.0* please help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hi David, Yes, NVIDIA with TwinView. Nothing in my xsession-errors about UScreen at all. I renamed the old one, logged out and then back in again and ran the System- Settings-Displays and attached the resulting xsession-errors here.

Very strange - I just noticed it looks like I have unity-2d running? Why is that? I have a pretty decent machine (Core i7 860 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 graphics) so it should be running Unity 3D right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
OK, I fixed it. Somehow my NVIDIA drivers were messed up. I removed all nvidia drivers (nvidia-current et al) and reinstalled them. Upon reboot my launcher is back in the middle of the display surface (left side of right monitor) and Unity 3D is back. what the heck happened there? john -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
I installed the PPA - thanks Daniel! While I do not see a black bar in the Displays control panel, after restarting Unity (log out/log back in) , the launcher is on my primary monitor. hooray! I'm afraid to run CCSM to set it to not dodge windows - last time I ran CCSM in 11.10 it hosed Unity and I had to reset it to get it back... My google'ing the CCSM stability sounded like it was not too safe to run in 11.10 yet. Is CCSM stable now?

[Bug 742544] Re: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups
This bug is driving me insane. It makes Unity almost unusable for me. I have two large monitors (24) with my primary display directly in front of me and the second one angled to the left. I am very mouse-centric (I use very few keyboard shortcuts) and having to twist my neck all the way to the left monitor and target the mouse across two displays just to switch apps, which I do frequently (I am a software developer and use multiple concurrent apps constantly), is literally causing me neck pain! Why can't I just drag the launcher to the top/left/middle of the entire display surface? That is by far the most intuitive UI behavior and would solve the launcher placement problem i a way that works for everyone. In 10.04 I had the launcher on my primary display, which put it in the middle of my total display surface. I set it in CCSM to not dodge windows so it always just stayed visible. This was ideal for my situation. 11.10 has seriously regressed in this regard. I am trying hard to like Unity, but I am close to installing the gnome shell and being done with it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742544 Title: Launcher is shown on the wrong screen in some multi-monitor setups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/742544/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
