The original poster forgot to add that gnome is losing your monitor preferences as well. You can use the monitor switch mode on your laptop but you cannot get it to bring up the desktop monitor. Or it will bring it up as the secondary instead of showing the same image on both. Finally if you switch enough it will show the same image but as soon as you close the laptop lid it will shutdown the second monitor. During presentations if your display sleeps or you suspend laptop during a break it is a fiasco getting it back online.
Quick FIX: Just go into monitor preferences while the monitor is connected and then choose "same image" for both monitors and it will fix it. -- Gnome fails to bring up the monitors if enters in "stand by for monitors" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520396 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
