And I say there is a very good reason for doing so. It is the only way to get dual monitors to work for the average user. The only other way is to change the ownership of xorg.conf which belongs to root to begin with. There is NOT a good reason for not allowing nvidia-settings to run with root privileges
You claim the saving .nvidia-settings-rc with root ownership is a bug. I say BS. Just what problem does that cause other than raise the blood pressure of paranoids? I've had dual monitors running this way for close to two years and have had no problems at all. Again, if you have a BETTER solution, then implement it. Don't just talk about it. Otherwise I'll keep advising people to do what works. -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
