I am trying to make my lightdm use a correct setup of my displays both for login and session.
I have most likely misunderstood something here, but by reading the wiki I did the following:
I have tried adding these lines in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf, but none of these actions make any difference.
I ran both the commented xrandr command and the script that runs it to be sure that was not the problem.
$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
# login-screen
display-setup-script=/usr/share/3head.sh
#display-setup-script=xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output Unknown-0 --off --output DVI-I-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-5 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 3610x0 --rotate left --output DP-4 --off --output DVI-I-1 --mode 2560x1600 --pos 1050x0 --rotate normal --output DP-2 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-0 --off
$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf
[SeatDefaults]
user-session=ubuntu
# desktop session
session-setup-script=/usr/share/3head.sh
#session-setup-script=xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output Unknown-0 --off --output DVI-I-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-5 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 3610x0 --rotate left --output DP-4 --off --output DVI-I-1 --mode 2560x1600 --pos 1050x0 --rotate normal --output DP-2 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-0 --off
in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf i just added both these config files with the exception that I define greeter-session and user-session at the beginning
$ ls -l /usr/share/3head.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343 jan. 7 21:30 /usr/share/3head.sh
and the content is the following:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output DP-3 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate left --output Unknown-0 \
--off --output DVI-I-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --off --output DP-5 --mode 1680x1050 \
--pos 3610x0 --rotate left --output DP-4 --off --output DVI-I-1 --mode 2560x1600 \
--pos 1050x0 --rotate normal --output DP-2 --off --output DP-1 --off --output DP-0 --off
what am I doing wrong here?
