How to solve dual monitor issue, which happens only during X start?
- by tamashumi
When is loading and two monitors are connected, instead of a login screen I see this:
...after clicking OK, selection appears:
Then I'm following to console login, disconnecting by hand the secondary monitor cable, restart lightdm with a command
sudo service lightdm restart
...and voila! System loads fine.
If I disconnect the cable before boot X will be loaded fine too.
It's not a nice 'feature' when I have to disconnect the cable each boot or X restart.
I was trying to delete monitors.xml but it didn't help.
The situation relates to my notebook with Intel integrated GPU. The same happens on two different pairs of monitors: at the office and at home.
How can I fix this?
Ubuntu 12.04 x64 Desktop with default Unity GUI.
