[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
I merged 1037895 into this Changing from the intel xserver to gnome-screensaver; from the reports it doesn't seem to be Intel specific. Whether it's actually gnome-screensaver or something else seems to be difficult to tell; most people seem to be saying removing it helps them, but #30 is not sure; but the conclusion seems to be other desktops don't suffer from it. However, the fact that xrandr reprobe causes it to sort out seems to suggest it might not be the screensavers problem? ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) = gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Tags added: release-regression ** Tags removed: release-regression ** Tags added: regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
The problem may be deeper than gnome-screensaver. I experienced the same annoying symptom with a fresh install of Debian 7.0.0 on a machine behind an IOGear 8-port PS2 KVM switch. As reported above, simply opening System Settings - Displays caused the resolution to revert to 1600x1200, as did running the xrandr command in a terminal. To determine if it was gnome-screensaver, I forced it to quit using 'gnome- screensaver-command --exit' and confirmed that the screensaver process was no longer running. However, switching to another machine for a few seconds still resulted in the display changing to 1024x768. Using Gnome Classic instead of Gnome shell didn't help. I did not remove gnome- screensaver because it required uninstalling other gnome desktop components also. My solution was to install the XFCE desktop which doesn't exhibit the resolution switching behavior -- and is more usable than Gnome3 in my opinion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
I don't wish to sound like a 'me too' but here I am on this latest (at time of writing) 13.04 of Ubuntu and it still occurs. I have a VGA and PS2 KVM, 4x port by StarTech. Switching back from my work Windows desktop to Ubuntu after the screen blanker / password lock has kicked in produces a lower resolution; even if I switch the KVM wait for the monitor to state 'no signal' to possibly allow DDC to invoke prior to moving the mouse and waking the system. The monitor is detected as Hewlett Packard 19 (HP Compaq LA1951g) and the graphics chip detected as Intel Ivybridge. Opening up System Settings, clicking on DIsplays automatically adjusts the screen. No need to Apply, just closing retains the right resolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
I worked around this by un-installing the screen saver. Given what appears to be the 'root cause' ... my guess would be the screen saver it provoking a 'poll' when it locks or unlocks the screen ... Given that this will probably happen when a KVM is switched 'away' for long periods , it would seem to be (at least) a BUG WRT the screen saver. In a Lab situation a KVM would be the norm ... having to remove the screen saver/locking on lab machines would make Ubuntu unsuitable for this kind of use on security grounds.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
I did some more fiddling and I'm fairly well convinced that this is actually a 'gnome-screensaver' bug. I first booted into an Lubuntu Precise and installed 'gnome-desktop- environment' which I know is Gnome version 3.0 rather than the Gnome version 3.2 + bits of 3.4 that Ubuntu Precise uses. Booting into a gnome classic (no effects) session uses 'gnome-screensaver' and results in this bug, but booting into an Lubuntu session which uses 'xscreensaver' works just fine. In the meanwhile the last bits of the new Xorg stack fell into place in Ubuntu Quantal proposed so I applied those updates, but no joy :^( Next I decided to try converting an Ubuntu Precise from using 'gnome- screensaver' to using 'xscreensaver'. It was a bit fiddly for me. I first tried this: http://www.howtogeek.com/114027/how-to-add-screensavers-to-ubuntu-12.04/ But that didn't quite work properly on reboot so I deleted the new entry in Startup Apps and tried this: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/add-enable-screensavers-in- ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ Sadly 'xscreensaver' was still NOT working properly on reboot so I opened Startup Apps again, noticed Xsreensaver was once again added, so removed and re-added it. No idea why but it then worked OK on repeated reboots. So that's just fiddly enough I can't recommend it as a work-around Regardless, once I had 'xscreensaver' working properly with the blank- screen option in Ubuntu Precise, I tried this with my KVM switch and all was well. So I'm fairly well convinced this is a 'gnome-screensaver' bug. The next step is to see if we can find something upstream (or side- stream in another Gnome based distro) so please help me search :^) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Those of us effected definitely need to share some notes. I'm using a simple 2-port KVM switch with 2 sets of hardware: Intel Atom CPU 230 @ 1.60GHz Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics VIA C7 CPU @ 1500MHz VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] Only the Intel set is effected in Ubuntu Precise and Quantal, but it works OK with either Xubuntu or Lubuntu Precise. It also works OK with Ubuntu Oneiric. The old P4M800 is not effected at all but it may be helpful to note that when I open Displays in the Intel set it displays HSD 19, whereas when I open Displays in the VIA set it displays Laptop. Naturally it's not a laptop and the actual monitor is an 18.5 HannsG widescreen. But I'd think that Ubuntu Precise, Lubuntu Precise, and Xubuntu Precise all share the same Xorg packages, but certainly Ubuntu uses 'gnome- screensaver' whereas Lubuntu and Xubuntu use 'xscreensaver' --- I think!

At least change the status! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Just noticed this AM that opening the terminal and typing xrandr also restores the proper resolution. I hope to follow up on this when the 12.04.1 images begin to show up on the qa tracker. Shouldn't be long since the scheduled release date is August 23rd.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 988290] Re: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise
I believe the behavior is caused by the timed lock of the session. If I lock the screen before switching the KVM the session retains the screen settings. But if I leave the screen unlocked, switch the KVM, and let the session get locked due to inactivity, then the resolution of the screen gets changed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988290 Title: Resolution change with KVM switch on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/988290/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
