How to trigger. ***WARNING: Save everything before trying this.***
With a Gnome Classic session. There is a 4 screen multi screen selector on the panel at the bottom of the screen organized as 2 rows of 2 screens. It has a preferences dialog acessable via a right click when on an empty space on it. Bring it up. Notice that the number of rows and screens are both 1 and don't match the layout and number of multiscreens on the selector in the pannel. Just change the number of screens to 8, leave the number of rows as 1, likely any number of screens more than one will work. Notice you get a single row of screens shown. Now click on any one of those screens shown other than the currently active one. All of your windows will now vanish as well as the dialog and pannels. Programs are still running. Contrl-Alt-F1 will still bring up the text console you can use to login and "kill -HUP" your Gnome Classic session. Altenately you can login over the net to do the same. Only workoround I've found sofar is not to change anything in that dialog. For an experiment I did a "kill -HUP" on gnome-panel rather than the root of the login session and the panels came back, and then clicked on one of the other multi-screens and the same vanishing issue happened again. Also a second hangup killing and gnome-panel was gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017382 Title: Multi-screen options failure under Gnome Classic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1017382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
