[20:58] <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
[21:00] <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

[21:04] <drdozer> https://termbin.com/achp
[21:07] <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.
[21:08] <tomreyn> is there a reason you don't just run LTS?
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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?
[21:49] <tomreyn> drdozer: no, if you don't mind things breaking then contriubting towards stabilizing future releases is a great thing to do.
[21:54] <drdozer> cool - so how can I help narrowing this one down?
[22:00] <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.
[22:03] <tomreyn> you could downgrade those suspects to the earlier version and see if it fixes the issue for you. and report it if so.
[22:05] <drdozer> ok https://termbin.com/l2rf
[22:06] <drdozer> so it was probably the update I did on  2019-06-18 that broke things I'm guessing
[22:07] <drdozer> the nvidia driver bumped from 418 to 430
[22:11] <tomreyn> thats a good suspect ;)
[22:12] <tomreyn> reviewing source code changes might get difficult there, though
[22:12] <drdozer> indeed
[22:17] <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
[22:25] <drdozer> OK, so by adding an xorg.conf, the screens are now at least correctly placed after starting a new x session
[22:26] <drdozer> going into the screens/displays tool is still mangling their positions, but they are corect in the nvidia x server settings tool
[22:27] <drdozer> I need to sleep - will see if this also happens on my laptop tomorrow
