[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Hi Daniel, I did some testing because I seemed to be affected by this issue on Ubuntu 20.04. In fact I first used the script from bernaerts mentioned above (#4 for instance). Anyway I disabled its startup before these tests, I mentioned it to clear the ground. So I followed your instructions in #147: everything seems to work, the two monitors.xml are identical and the configuration is correctly applied on my system. Then I tested some different real use behaviours, as I am working with a laptop attached to a TV and I not always have them connected, but most importantly I only use the TV to watch videos, while in normal use I prefer to work on my screen only. So I started with a new monitors.xml, setup the dual monitors (Join Displays) view, and then tried: 1. unconnecting the TV "on hot", then connecting it again 2. the same, but logging out and in between the two steps 3. turning off the computer as it is, unconnecting the TV, restarting, and connect the TV at some point 4. switching the configuration to Single-Display, then activating dual view again In cases 1-3 the configuration is back as expected, so everything ok. In case 4 the configuration is lost. This is because in 1-3 monitors.xml is unaffected (a monitors.xml~ is instead created and apparently used; not sure how that is handled), whereas in 4 it is overwritten and the TV is not only marked , but its whole configuration (X,Y, scale, etc.) deleted. This might seem trivial, but I originally expected the single-display configuration not to interfere with the dual one in case 4 just as in the other ones. 4 is quite a usual behaviour of mine, and maybe not only: 1 and 2 are not recommendable (in fact, in one case the X session crashed); 3 is surely correct, but 4 might also be quite likely - a monitor/TV is physically connected, but used only at times (e.g., for watching movies or for particular tasks), so one would switch it off and want windows not to open there. Expecting the system to understand that "Off" does not mean "forget its configuration"... I think more people here fall in this kind of behaviour (surely #143 and likely #114), which is not really an issue of the configuration not being loaded, but rather a 'bad managing' of different situations -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell 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

[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
I tried testing what happens if I try a configuration with only one monitor enabled. The log in screen has all three monitors on, but then when I log in it properly disables two of them and the config loads as it was when I logged out. Monitor 2 enabled with fractional scaling 1.5 and monitors 1 and 3 disabled. I will attach the files of the working config and the config I want that does not load. After comparing the two XML files, my best guess as to what is going on is that if there is more than one "" element then the config will not load properly. ** Attachment added: "monitors-not-desired-config-will-load.xml" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1292398/+attachment/5361059/+files/monitors-not-desired-config-will-load.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell 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

But in your case, we wouldn't know whether you're modifying the current configuration, or creating a new one. The only thing I would guess is that mutter (which loads and saves the configuration) doesn't remember the position of the display you turn off, dropping it from the configuration. It should probably include it in the ~/.config/monitors.xml file, with its previous position, even if disabled. That way, re-enabling it would pop it back in the same location.

That is, the external monitor is always correctly above the laptop. It’s just when switching to »Mirror« or »Off« and then back to one of Primary/Secondary that the positioning is reset. So basically yes, it would be good if the last used positioning could not only be remembered when switching between the two/multiple-screen setups, but also when there’s only a one-screen setup so that it’s properly restored when switching back to the multiple-screen one.

Using lightdm and xfce this problem exists as well. Additionally with this setup there are no monitors.xml in ~/.config. Although the login screen is on the main monitor, which is awkward. There are also other slightly funny situations, as when closing the lid on laptop then connecting laptop to additional monitors, the monitor setup is sometimes(?) restored.

@vanvugt: not sure if #136 is directed at my comment in #135, but the _only_ way to produce the problem is to logout or reboot which naturally involves the display manager. Again, the problem goes away, for my case, simply by using a different display manager, as stated in #131. The problem is clearly related to the display manager process as it starts up the user session and is directly responsible for _causing_ the issue for me. If I use a different display manager with gnome-session(mutter), the monitor settings work correctly. To be clear: I don't care which monitor the login box widget is displayed on.

I also notice that changing the orientation of the primary display to "portrait right" causes problems, whereas landscape or portrait left don't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell 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

@muktupavels (#127): I do not have this bug in 18.04.1 LTS. My settings persist over a restart.

shortcut.
I tried a `systemctl service` upon login but it errors on so many items
that I gave up.

I have 2 digital BenQ and one analog Asus. If I run Ubuntu 16.04 (on Gnome Fallback) System settings, they are identified correctly, albeit in the wrong position (note: right after login, the monitor position is set correctly for a few seconds, then when desktop is loaded, is messed up again). So, I execute step 1 of the above solution, deleted monitors.xml, installed gnome-control- center and run it: the monitors where wrongly identified.

Then just shut down and re-boot...voilà: after login the desktop was loaded with correct monitor position for all the 3 monitor!

[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Same problem here after upgrading three days ago from Ubuntu 14.04.4 (that worked) to 16.04.1 (that's broken as explained below). Desktop Environment: GNOME-Flashback:Unity (gnome-flashback-metacity) Dual screen, notebook + external VGA monitor. NVidia Quadro FX 770M, 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.96 I set the primary monitor to the notebook screen using nvidia-settings, and the setting stuck across logout: I see the gnome panel properly moving to the notebook screen when the Gnome GUI comes up after logout and reboot. OTOH, my notebook is positioned to the right of my VGA monitor, and that's where the problem starts. The system insists on placing the notebook built-in screen to the left of the monitor. If I set the primary monitor (notebook built-in screen) to the right of the VGA screen using nvidia-settings, I get what I want for the current session. But this setting is lost after the next session logout (or reboot for that matter). If alternately, I set the primary monitor (notebook built-in screen) to the right of the VGA screen using "System Settings / Displays", I get what I want for the session, but this setting is also lost after the next logout (reboot). The trick suggesting at #39 doesn't work for me (to start with, I have no etc/gnome-setting-daemon/xrandr on my system) To add insult to injury, the upgrade also brought me a similar problem with the alsamixer settings: They are set to some default muted values that makes the machine totally silent at each session start, and whatever way I set them, they are reset to the same muted default values upon the next logout / login. Not sure whether I also owe this to gnome-shell, but that's what I suspect. I use "sudo alsactl" to manually handle the problem and reload the proper alsamixer value, but I hate it. I have so far not found any simple, reliable fix or workaround for either problem. -- 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
[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Not sure if this is equivalent, as I run unity-settings-daemon instead of gnome-settings-daemon (with the Compiz Unity-plugin turned off and gnome-panel instead), but it seems similar enough. Just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1. I drop my laptop on a dock with two vertically oriented (rotated to portrait) monitors. This was working fine before, now it lights them up without the rotation. Rotating them manually via System Settings -> Displays, undocking and docking again reverts to the wrong (landscape) orientation. The ~/.config/monitors.xml looks fine but seems to be ignored. Reloading the settings with killall unity-settings-daemon gives me the correct orientation, which is read from the monitor.xml (editing the file by hand and killing u-s-d accepts whatever changes I make), it just doesn't get triggered on docking changes. That's the workaround for now: kill u-s-d every time I dock to that workplace, which may help with g-s-d too. It would be nice for patchlvl 1 LTS upgrades to not break such basic stuff. -- 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

[Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
I have the same/similar issue with Ubuntu 15.10, Unity, NVidia GTX 970, NVidia-352 prop driver. My main display (the left one) is 1920x1080 plugged in via HDMI, and my second monitor is 1280x1024 via DVI. I setup my big monitor to be the left one, and my smaller to be the right one via Unity display settings. On system boot, boot screen and information is only shown on my smaller right monitor, left monitor doesn't even get a signal. On login screen, login credentials are only shown on the smaller right screen, with an expanded wallpaper showing on the left. After login, the left monitor is set correctly to the left, but full screen applications like most of my games start on the smaller right monitor by default. I can fix this after every login via NVidia Xserver Settings app and marking my left monitor as primary, then every game starts correctly on my left monitor. I worked around this now with a startup script setting the primary monitor to the left one via xrandr command. Can't understand why this issue is still low, as it is a very annoying usability bug.

I would be very disappointed if this bug was not resolved because my personal work on agent based modelling and development in Java and SciLab/Matlab means I need to use 3 possibly 4 monitors with the centre monitor as my primary monitor.

If it is any help to the developers or other users you can find the fix at http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/309-ubuntu-dual-display- monitor-position-lost I would help develop an integration of the fix into elementary OS but, my coding skills only go as far as Java a bit of C# and Matlab. -- 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
