[16:49] <gnoob> Hello, I have another item I need some help troubleshooting.  I have my laptop monitor and an external display.  If I leave the computer and it times out, when I go to lob back in any changes that I made configuring them in "Display" are reset.  I have to set them back to "extend" instead of "mirror" and change the position of them.

[20:25] <xu-irc14w> ok tnx
[20:26] <tomreyn> there is also http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/current/legacy-images/netboot/mini.iso
[20:28] <tomreyn> mini,iso does not support UEFI mode booting (and installing), though, and is being phased out.
[20:29] <xu-irc14w> tnx

[22:21] <gnoob> Trying to do some more googling for what I posted above.  "I have my laptop monitor and an external display.

I have to set them back to 'extend' instead of 'mirror' and change the position of them." It looks like I might need to enable "Configure new display when connected" and "Automatically enable 
[22:21] <gnoob> profles when new display is connected"? guess I will see.
