| ali1234 | i just got a new video card and when it puts the monitors in power saving it only turns off two out of three | 12:21 |
| ali1234 | i suspect this is due to a cabling issue | 12:22 |
| ali1234 | but it's weird :) | 12:22 |
| TJ- | ali1234: swap cables around see if the non-sleeping monitor moves with it | 12:24 |
| ali1234 | i would do, but i bought cables that are exactly the right length, and it is the shortest one that is acting weird | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | it also has loads of ghosting | 12:25 |
| TJ- | ow :) | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | which i would have expected on the longest one first | 12:25 |
| ali1234 | they are DP to VGA cables | 12:25 |
| TJ- | connector pins bent, have you checked? | 12:25 |
| TJ- | DP to VGA requires an active convertor doesn't it? so could be related to drawing power? | 12:26 |
| ali1234 | anyway i just mention it in case anyone sees a similar issue... small chance it's due to my GPU | 12:26 |
| TJ- | ali1234: seen a lot of cases where pins have been bent or debris in connector blocked the DDC comms | 12:26 |
| ali1234 | i bought brand new cables with the brand new GPU :) | 12:27 |
| TJ- | ali1234: brand new is often a problem... pins have never been plugged into a recepticle so may be out of line. | 12:28 |
| ali1234 | who made this? https://i.imgur.com/bABrUk8.png | 13:15 |
| ali1234 | there is something wrong with it for sure :( | 13:19 |
| ali1234 | i probably have an old version though | 13:20 |
| ochosi | ali1234: i (mostly) made it, let me know if there are issues with the latest 4.14.1 release (otherwise i probably won't care ;)) | 18:00 |
| ochosi | but it's - as everything xfsettingsd does - xrandr based | 18:00 |
| ali1234 | well, basically if i ever unplug any monitor, all my monitors turn off | 18:00 |
| ochosi | so if something doesn't work with xrandr, don't expect the display dialog or xfsettingsd to work any differently | 18:00 |
| ali1234 | if "configure news displays when connected" is set to "off" then the only way to recover my desktop is to restart Xorg | 18:01 |
| ali1234 | however if it is set to on then plugging the monitor back in causes all my monitors to turn on again | 18:01 |
| ali1234 | the setting "automatically enable profiles..." does not seem to do anything at all | 18:02 |
| ochosi | do you have a saved profile for the current setup? | 18:02 |
| ochosi | also, there was a bug in this in 4.14.0, hence 4.14.1 | 18:02 |
| ali1234 | i tried with and without | 18:02 |
| ali1234 | and i'm still running 18.04 | 18:02 |
| ochosi | so again, if you're not on 4.14.1 i'll stop reading *now* :) | 18:02 |
| ali1234 | so how do i install 4.14.1 on 18.04? | 18:03 |
