I tried a different cable. It didn't help. Also, I can trigger my monitors freaking out as described above merely by launching the Synology Drive Client when the ultra-wide monitor is connected.
Also, the issue seems to be triggered even if the applet isn't visible in my top bar, i.e., even if the only Synology Drive processes that are running are the background processes. Synology Drive does kernel stuff -- I believe it uses inotify to monitor directories for changes -- so I'm suspecting that there's something misbehaving in the kernel and something that Synology Drive does is banging up against it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849484 Title: [X1 Carbon 7, i915, HDMI] Ultra-wide monitor recognized properly when plugged in only intermittently [Xorg only] Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an LG ultra-wide (2560x1080) monitor. Sometimes when I plug it into my laptop, whose screen was working fine before I plugged it in, both screens go black but nothing else happens. I can still see the mouse cursor and move it between the two monitors (sometimes in the correct location configuration I've configured, sometimes not), but nothing is rendered on the screens. Sometimes when I plug the monitor in, it comes on, but the resolution is wrong. Sometimes it is actually recognized and configured correctly. Frequently I have to unplug the monitor and plug it back in three times or more before it is recognized correctly. I wish it just worked right the first time. :-/ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-19.20-generic 5.3.1 Uname: Linux 5.3.0-19-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Oct 23 08:34:07 2019 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-09-12 (40 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Release amd64 (20190416) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to eoan on 2019-09-20 (32 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1849484/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
