Public bug reported: This system normally has two displays connected which are always on. This problem arose when a TV was connected as a third display. It was preferred to have the TV left "disabled" by unchecking "Use this display" when it was not needed, but leaving its cable connected. However at each startup a GUI will be presented asking for display configuration because the option in Display settings for "Configure new displays when connected" is checked.
If the option for "Connfigure new displays when connected" is then unchecked and the system is hibernated, then on resume X will not start. The only thing that can be done is to start a new terminal session and then startx will bring up a desktop. However the applications that were restored in the resume aren't accessible from this desktop session that has been manually started. The following were tried until the system was found to be resuming: 1. Disconnected the third display 2. Checked the option for "Configure new displays when connected" Not until both options had been tried would the system resume after hibernation and start X. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 500 500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3600 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 DVI-I-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.03 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 59.94 HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-1 connected 1680x1050+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm 1680x1050 59.88*+ 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.03 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 59.94 DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) $ cat xorg.conf # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 361.42 (buildd@lgw01-18) Tue Apr 5 14:33:28 UTC 2016 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" Option "Xinerama" "0" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "glx" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "Monitor" # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "DELL P2210" HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "GeForce GTX 750" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "Stereo" "0" Option "nvidiaXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0" Option "metamodes" "DVI-I-1: nvidia-auto-select +3840+0, HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0, HDMI-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" Option "SLI" "Off" Option "MultiGPU" "Off" Option "BaseMosaic" "off" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection $ nvidia-settings -q all -t Attributes queryable via MainPC:0.0: OperatingSystem: 0 NvidiaDriverVersion: 375.66 NvControlVersion: 1.29 GLXServerVersion: 1.4 GLXClientVersion: 1.4 OpenGLVersion: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 375.66 XRandRVersion: 1.5 XF86VidModeVersion: 2.2 XvVersion: 2.2 TwinView: 1 ConnectedDisplays: 0x00000500 EnabledDisplays: 0x00000500 AssociatedDisplays: 0x00001f01 InitialPixmapPlacement: 2 MultiGpuDisplayOwner: 0 GlyphCache: 1 Depth30Allowed: 1 NoScanout: 0 XServerUniqueId: 1353011520 PixmapCache: 1 PixmapCacheRoundSizeKB: 1024 AccelerateTrapezoids: 1 ScreenPosition: x=0, y=0, width=3600, height=1080 SyncToVBlank: 1 LogAniso: 0 FSAA: 0 TextureClamping: 1 FXAA: 0 AllowFlipping: 0 FSAAAppControlled: 1 LogAnisoAppControlled: 1 OpenGLImageSettings: 1 FSAAAppEnhanced: 0 SliMosaicModeAvailable: 0 BusType: 2 PCIEMaxLinkSpeed: 8000 PCIEMaxLinkWidth: 16 PCIECurrentLinkSpeed: 8000 PCIECurrentLinkWidth: 16 VideoRam: 2097152 Irq: 30 CUDACores: 512 GPUMemoryInterface: 128 GPUCoreTemp: 36 GPUCurrentCoreVoltage: 1200000 GPUCurrentClockFreqs: 1058,2505 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-83.106-generic 4.4.70 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-83-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.6 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sat Jul 8 21:57:59 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-08-13 (329 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1703098 Title: No X if resuming when "Configure new displays when connected" unchecked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1703098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
