| drdozer | hi - I'm on eoan and have been for a few weeks without problems. | 20:58 |
|---|---|---|
| drdozer | But I dist-upgraded today and now the displays and monitor placement is bugged | 20:58 |
| drdozer | On logging in it places my monitors fairly randomly about the place, and if I go into the displays system settings module, that is really glitchy moving the monitors about, and when I log out and log in again it re-randomises them | 21:00 |

| drdozer | https://termbin.com/achp | 21:04 |
| tomreyn | an ubuntu pre-alpha release with proprietary nvidia drivers and an expectation that multi monitor output will work (and continue to work) properly is not a combination i would recommend. | 21:07 |
| tomreyn | is there a reason you don't just run LTS? | 21:08 |
| drdozer | tomreyn: I was on bionic so I upgraded to the newest thing I could find :) It was a big improvement in just about everything, especially the graphics drivers | 21:37 |
| drdozer | and I feel a warm fuzzy feeling knowing I will hit and contribute to getting fixed things so other people won't have to | 21:38 |
| drdozer | do you suggest I roll back one release? | 21:38 |
| tomreyn | drdozer: no, if you don't mind things breaking then contriubting towards stabilizing future releases is a great thing to do. | 21:49 |
| drdozer | cool - so how can I help narrowing this one down? | 21:54 |
| tomreyn | you could check which updates were installed during this last batch which broke it for you, review changelogs and source code changes for package updates which may have caused it. | 22:00 |
| tomreyn | you could downgrade those suspects to the earlier version and see if it fixes the issue for you. and report it if so. | 22:03 |
| drdozer | ok https://termbin.com/l2rf | 22:05 |
| drdozer | so it was probably the update I did on 2019-06-18 that broke things I'm guessing | 22:06 |
| drdozer | the nvidia driver bumped from 418 to 430 | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | thats a good suspect ;) | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | reviewing source code changes might get difficult there, though | 22:12 |
| drdozer | indeed | 22:12 |
| drdozer | OK, I'm able to set screen locations through the nvidia-settings utility | 22:17 |
| drdozer | so it's something buggy in the glue into the kde settings widget | 22:17 |
| drdozer | OK, so by adding an xorg.conf, the screens are now at least correctly placed after starting a new x session | 22:25 |
| drdozer | going into the screens/displays tool is still mangling their positions, but they are corect in the nvidia x server settings tool | 22:26 |
| drdozer | I need to sleep - will see if this also happens on my laptop tomorrow | 22:27 |
