| spaz-grenade | So I'm having an issue with dual monitors on ubuntu gnome 14.04... Whenever I log in, the monitors are swapped, so I have to move the cursor right to get to the monitor that is physically to the left. I swap it around in All Settings | Screen Display, and it's fine, but forgets it when I log out :/ | 15:27 |
| spaz-grenade | (I was sent here from #ubuntu!) | 15:27 |
| spaz-grenade | I've searched around and done the usual recommended messing with monitors.xml etc | 15:30 |
| mikaelx | hi. can anyone here help me setting up dual display? I need a specific configuration but my system is ignoring xorg.conf | 17:24 |
| holstein | mikaelx: try arandr ,then maybe share what xorg.conf you are trying to use and why | 17:24 |
| mikaelx | Option "metamodes" "DVI-I-2: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, HDMI-0: 1360x768 +0+0 {viewportin=1440x900}" | 17:24 |
| mikaelx | this is what I need, but each time i reboot, or i turn the TV off and on, gnome forgets the setup | 17:25 |
| holstein | does hdmi work at all? is it a linux support issue? driver issue? or config issue? try and isolate these.. as well as, is the hardware functioning properly | 17:25 |
| holstein | mikaelx: you can try arandr, and save a script from it to apply to autostart. | 17:26 |
| mikaelx | everything works. except i have to re-apply the configuration everytime | 17:26 |
| mikaelx | i will try that. thanks for the suggestion. i will report back later with the reszults | 17:26 |
| mikaelx | is there a reason why gnome is ignoring my xorg.conf file? i was told on the nvidia forums to set "xrandr active" to false in dconf and that did work in openSUSE but has no effect in ubuntu | 17:31 |
| holstein | mikaelx: and you tried the arandr generated script added to autostart? | 17:32 |
| holstein | mikaelx: the reasons could be anything from, misconfiguration to driver support.. to typo.. | 17:32 |
| mikaelx | im checking it out right now | 17:32 |
| mikaelx | the xorg.conf i want to use is automatically generated by nvidia-settings so there shouldn't be any typo | 17:34 |
| mikaelx | ok rebooting brb | 17:39 |
| holstein | mikaelx: dont assume the nvidia generated xorg is "correct" | 17:50 |
| mikaelx | ok | 17:50 |
| mikaelx | well the script from arandr does set the right configuration after i log in but it resets as soon as i turn my second display off and on | 17:51 |
| mikaelx | it should be correct, because it worked fine in another distribution | 17:52 |
| mikaelx | i mean the specific options i need | 17:53 |
| holstein | mikaelx: you can *always* use that script to setup the config | 17:53 |
| holstein | mikaelx: as always, let nvidia know the tool is not working for you | 17:54 |
| mikaelx | i did, they say its a bug in gnome3 | 17:54 |
| mikaelx | they told me to set "xrandr active " to false in dconf | 17:54 |
| mikaelx | it worked in opensuse but has no effect in ubuntu-gnome | 17:55 |
| mikaelx | that option should prevent gnome from messing with my resolutions automatically | 17:57 |
| holstein | all i can suggest is.. | 17:58 |
| holstein | !bug | 17:58 |
| ubot5 | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 17:58 |
| holstein | otherwise, i use arandr script when they work | 17:58 |
| mikaelx | i will use the script for now, its easier than setting up the resolution manually | 18:00 |
| mikaelx | look at this if youre interested | 18:00 |
| mikaelx | https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/570219/using-clone-mode-with-two-different-aspect-ratios/ | 18:00 |
| mikaelx | this is my post on the nvidia forums and the response | 18:00 |
| mikaelx | they're saying that gnome3 will ignore xorg.conf as long "dconf /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active true" | 18:05 |
| mikaelx | but setting it to false in ubuntu has no effect so it must be a bug | 18:06 |
