[Bug 1285678] Re: Incorrectly positioned user interface elements with dual-screen setup and different screen resolutions

 

Nightfall, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1285678

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

Title:
  Incorrectly positioned user interface elements with dual-screen setup
  and different screen resolutions

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When an external screen (1920x1080) is attached to my netbook (1024x600), the user interface elements on the netbook's login screen are positioned incorrectly: The user selection/password entry box is located near the lower right corner of the screen instead of centered; shutdown/... buttons are not displayed.
  Positioning on the external screen is correct - user selection in center, shutdown/... buttons in lower right corner.

  It looks as if for both screens, 1920 x 1080 was taken as reference
  for user interface element positioning.

  (Might be a general lightdm problem, did not test other greeters ...)

  Potentially related: during boot, Plymouth's Kubuntu logo is displayed
  correctly (centered) on both screens; shortly before switching to the
  login screen, on the netbook screen it moves to the lower right
  corner.
