Not sure if this is equivalent, as I run unity-settings-daemon instead of gnome-settings-daemon (with the Compiz Unity-plugin turned off and gnome-panel instead), but it seems similar enough.
Just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.1. I drop my laptop on a dock with two vertically oriented (rotated to portrait) monitors. This was working fine before, now it lights them up without the rotation. Rotating them manually via System Settings -> Displays, undocking and docking again reverts to the wrong (landscape) orientation. The ~/.config/monitors.xml looks fine but seems to be ignored. Reloading the settings with killall unity-settings-daemon gives me the correct orientation, which is read from the monitor.xml (editing the file by hand and killing u-s-d accepts whatever changes I make), it just doesn't get triggered on docking changes. That's the workaround for now: kill u-s-d every time I dock to that workplace, which may help with g-s-d too. It would be nice for patchlvl 1 LTS upgrades to not break such basic stuff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292398 Title: Second screen position isn't saved from one session to another To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryos/+bug/1292398/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
