| davef | Riddle me this, how to I make GDM in 24.04 use my primary monitor to display the login prompt? Currently it goes to my secondary, which is orientated vertically. | 21:27 |
|---|---|---|
| davef | And don't say orientate it horizontally, because that wont help or work :) | 21:28 |
| daftykins | i've seen multiple monitors over displayport ignore changing the order they're plugged in in... when attempting to reverse such a thing, albeit not on Linux | 21:51 |
| penguin42 | I iwsh these things displayed the prompt on all monitors | 21:51 |
| penguin42 | davef: Rumour has it that there's a /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml | 21:54 |
| davef | That works until I load the nvidia driver | 21:55 |
| penguin42 | oh, now he says there's an nvidia driver involved | 21:55 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:55 |
| penguin42 | davef: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM | 21:56 |
| penguin42 | davef: One thing it says there is that if gdm is using wayland you need a config file geenerated from wayland, so I wouldn't be surprised if nvidia changes that and you need to...I dunno | 21:57 |
| davef | In the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf I turn off wayland | 21:59 |
| daftykins | how come you don't turn off gnome? :) | 22:00 |
| davef | maybe it's weirdness with 24.04 | 22:02 |
| davef | I'll try 22.04 | 22:06 |
| davef | Do I really need to use wayland? | 22:09 |
| daftykins | standard rule, the future's coming - the more you fight, the more work it will become in time | 22:12 |
| * penguin42 tries it every few years | 22:50 | |
| daftykins | i've been fighting against the whole "icons only" app indicator type thing since Windows 7 mind you, i always turn the text labels back on :) | 22:57 |
| daftykins | both with Windows and in KDE/Plasma | 22:58 |
