Public bug reported:
Upon upgrading from 18.04 to 18.10, only one of my displays is working.
Only one display shows in control centre. I have two, one connected via
DisplayPort, one via VGA.
The VGA works, DP doesn't.
If I unplug the VGA display, then the DisplayPort display turns on.
Plug it back in, the DisplayPort display turns off.
XRANDR shows both displays. Confusingly, the VGA display appears as
"DP-2" in XRANDR, and the DisplayPort connected display shows as
"HDMI-1."
If I manually enable the second display with
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --right-of DP-2 --mode 1920x1080
then the second display starts to work, and it appears in the Displays
section of the control centre, as it used to in Ubuntu 18.04.
Here's the output of xrandr prior to manually enabling the second
display:
