[21:27] <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. 
[21:28] <davef> And don't say orientate it horizontally, because that wont help or work :) 
[21:51] <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
[21:54] <penguin42> davef: Rumour has it that there's a /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <penguin42> davef: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GDM
[21:57] <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
[21:59] <davef> In the /etc/gdm3/custom.conf I turn off wayland
[22:00] <daftykins> how come you don't turn off gnome? :)
[22:02] <davef> maybe it's weirdness with 24.04
[22:06] <davef> I'll try 22.04
[22:09] <davef> Do I really need to use wayland?
[22:12] <daftykins> standard rule, the future's coming - the more you fight, the more work it will become in time
[22:50]  * penguin42 tries it every few years
[22:57] <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 :)
[22:58] <daftykins> both with Windows and in KDE/Plasma
