Public bug reported: I use a Thinkpad R500 on a docking station with an external screen. Arandr is used to change screen resolution to adapt to the external screen. Since the update to Xubuntu 14.04 a couple of days ago the desktop freezes after starting arandr. First I get the arandr window with the main area empty, and cannot use any of the menus, switch application, panel stopped working. Then it takes about 1 minute til the screen layout is added to the main area of the arandr window. The only thing I can use then is the mouse pointer. At this point I have to pull the plug and reboot the system.
What log files are needed for this?
