[04:09] <k_> hello
[04:10] <k_> have an issue with my install where upon logging into gnome, i get no connection dns doesn't resolve.
[04:10] <k_> anyone have any ideas on why this would happen
[15:27] <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!)
[15:30] <spaz-grenade> I've searched around and done the usual recommended messing with monitors.xml etc
[17:24] <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}"
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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
[17:34] <mikaelx> the xorg.conf i want to use is automatically generated by nvidia-settings so there shouldn't be any typo
[17:39] <mikaelx> ok rebooting brb
[17:50] <holstein> mikaelx: dont assume the nvidia generated xorg is "correct"
[17:50] <mikaelx> ok
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <mikaelx> it should be correct, because it worked fine in another distribution
[17:53] <mikaelx> i mean the specific options i need
[17:53] <holstein> mikaelx: you can *always* use that script to setup the config
[17:54] <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
[17:55] <mikaelx> it worked in opensuse but has no effect in ubuntu-gnome
[17:57] <mikaelx> that option should prevent gnome from messing with my resolutions automatically
[17:58] <holstein> all i can suggest is..
[17:58] <holstein> !bug
[17:58] <holstein> otherwise, i use arandr script when they work
[18:00] <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
[18:05] <mikaelx> they're saying that gnome3 will ignore xorg.conf as long "dconf /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active true"
[18:06] <mikaelx> but setting it to false in ubuntu has no effect so it must be a bug
