Here come the news for today: the greeter's aspect changed, showing two resolutions (my external and laptop screens do not have the same proportions) displayed on screen (as it did with 14.04, the background is displayed twice on the larger - external - screen, with both proportions), while it was only displayed once since the upgrade.
The problem is that, once I clicked to get the display, I was unable to write on the login pop-up: I could select a region (by a left double click) in the login box, but typing on the keyboard had no effect!.. I started to click here and there, hopping to solve the problem, and succeeded: I had to click on the top bar (with date, language and accessibility selections, ...) to get back to only one display of the background, and be able to type the login and password again. I hope my story would help, either by the turnarounds if someone else get a similar problem, or to locate the bug(s) and solve it (them). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610543 Title: After upgrading to 16.04, greeter does not handle double screen anymore Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello. I upgraded my laptop from 14.04 to 16.04 (Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS) a few days ago. Since then, the login screen doe not appear anymore when I have a dual monitor (either connected to VGA port or docked via VGA or HDMI), both screen are black, showing only the cursor. When I switch back to one monitor (disconnecting the VGA monitor or undocking), the laptop turns to sleep (?!?). After waking it up, I got the screen, can login, connect back the second monitor and activate it (with xrandr). If I connect the second monitor when the computer sleeps, and wake it up, I then have the display, but without the login window (it appears as soon as I disconnect the monitor). The software lightdm is up to date (1.18.2-0ubuntu1).
