[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Ok I got it! I was about to implement this solution http://www.calgorithms.com/blog/2014/07/30/fixing-multiple-monitor- position-in-ubuntu-gnome-14-dot-04/ (thanks for this one, even it was a patch I did not like to use) when I was enlighted by this: Gnome is not getting monitor IDs correctly. 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. I changed monitor position using the wrong IDs for the monitor, getting them were I wanted. Then just shut down and re-boot...voilà: after login the desktop was loaded with correct monitor position for all the 3 monitor! Hope this can shed some light on this annoying Ubuntu bug...the fact that Ubuntu system settings/monitor and gnome-control-center IDs monitor in different ways is clearly the problem. I remember something similar when using Catalyst Control Center in 14.04 with fgrlx: could not get it to set it right - then, using system settings/monitor, I was able to fix it - and it stayed there until the upgrade to 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in elementary OS: Fix Released Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Incomplete Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME trusty series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME xenial series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME Flashback: Confirmed Status in Unity: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: (Noticed on Ubuntu 14.04 beta 1 GNOME) At work I have a second screen, which I prefer to virtually put on the left side of my laptop screen.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1292398] Re: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another
Hi guys, same problem after upgrading from 14.04 LTS to 16.04.2 LTS...Gnome fallback of course (it is called fallback becouse Unity is supposed to be an improvement?) I had this problem in 14.04, with AMD Catalyst Control Center not remembering monitors position. Solved using system/monitors to set them and it was ok. After the upgrade, Catalyst is gone for free Gallium...but I get the bug. Strange enough at login monitors are correctly positioned...after login they get messed up. Same system since 7.04, always worked with 3 monitors...I know there is a script to work back the monitor config file...but is such an inelegant solutions...c'mon this bug is old years! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in elementary OS: Fix Released Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Unknown Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME trusty series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME xenial series: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu GNOME Flashback: Confirmed Status in Unity: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: (Noticed on Ubuntu 14.04 beta 1 GNOME) At work I have a second screen, which I prefer to virtually put on the left side of my laptop screen.
