Title:
Scale display doesn't work with an external monitor
You have the journalctl output first, when I disconnect the USB-C cable
and then when I connect it back.
I have the external display set as the main desktop with all the bars
(in case it helps to debug this)
Thanks.
** Attachment added: "journalctl.log"
** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
