I think I found a workaround: an init-script, that removes monitors.xml and monitors.xml.backup on shutdown and reboot. Start Gedit as root. sudo gedit Copy the following lines #!/bin/sh rm /home/USERNAME/.config/monitors.xml rm /home/USERNAME/.config/monitors.xml.backup rm

I think I finally found the reason for the problem. Everytime the orientation is changed the new orientation is saved in monitors.xml while the original monitors.xml is saved as monitors.xml.backup. By playing around with chattr I found out that this causes Ubuntu to try to restore monitors.xml
