Public bug reported:
On ubuntu 20.04 (Linux 5.4.0-29-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 29
14:32:27 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with nvidia
proprietary driver 440.64 with an nvidia MX250 (Lenovo T590):
1) Attach monitor via HDMI
2) Monitor is properly detected. Gnome-control-center sees the correct
monitor and sets it to join displays. No issue
3) activate lock screen (window key + L)
4) wait for screens to go to sleep
5) wake up screens to login again (external monitor flashes briefly)
6) login
7) system no longer uses external display and returns to single display
8) open gnome-control-center -> displays. Single Display is active
9) Attempt to select join displays
10) Error at the top of gnome-control-center: Changes cannot be applied
- This could be due to hardware limitations
11) select mirror - click apply
12) a keep settings dialogue will pop-up briefly before the screen goes
blank. When the screen comes back on, both screens come back on, with a
new keep settings dialogue.
13) select keep settings. gnome-control-center now shows Joing Displays
as being active. not/not mirror.
Notes:
-changing prime-select to nvidia vs adaptive does not change the issue
-setting power profile to performance in nvidia-settings does not change the
issue
