[Bug 885989] Re: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions
I'm really confused how it is that this bug has been almost completely ignored for such a long time. (I really mean no offense in saying this and appreciate all the work the devs do) Should I be looking for an alternative to Nautilus? Is there such a thing? (I mean in the sense that it works well with Ubuntu and other applications such as DropBox) I see people saying that the patch works to resolve this issue, but not without causing additional complications for other applications that rely on Nautilus. Any help/recommendations for a replacement/alternative to Nautilus, an estimate of when a patch such as this might make it mainline, or any other suggestions would be appreciated. I really need my third monitor functioning correctly >_< -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885989 Title: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/885989/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 885989] Re: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions
I've found using Metacity (vs Compiz) as my system's window decorator allows me better control of programs shown on any additional screens, whilst disabling most of my Composite/3D Acceleration. (Looking into the composite/3d issue further may result on a solution, I'm just not willing to bother) After applying the patch, play around with different managers and see if you can get the desired results. Like I said, Metacity actually decorated windows I spawn on any display/screen which allows me to interact with said windows once they have been created. Additionally, I have since migrated away from Ubuntu to stock Debian. I am also looking into Ubuntu variants, such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu to see what dual-head support they may provide. Again, with all the respect in the word to the developers of this and every other program available to me today, I don't understand how Nautilus is the default file manager for Ubuntu with such problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885989 Title: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/885989/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Wow. Thanks guys. Not really sure how this happened, but for me, I had to change /tmp/'s permissions (like #75). I tried every 'solution' in the thread. This is what worked for me.
