Bug Description
- hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
+ dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/
+ dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
+ dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/
** background
QA-test install, login to a ~recent hirsute install (untouched) to verify nothing has changed, screens aren't in correct orientation?? yet command history from my validation post-install is present (I always adjust displays post-install as part of confirmation install is good). No problem, I'll adjust monitor settings again, logout and log back in as a test (I've noted this behavior before recently, but just ignored it as it gets erased next qa-test)
** issue & re-creation steps
- adjust displays to match setup. My displays are one above the other. The default-right monitor gets moved to above-the-other. APPLY and SAVE settings.
- logout
- login again
** expected result
I expect the screens return to the setup I applied & saved
** actual result
Monitor settings have returned to the original left-right as they were before changing setting, or post install. Same occurs after a reboot
** another test strategy
- using a Lubuntu live system, boot & adjust monitor.settings
- logout
- login again
On focal daily (20.04.2) the changed settings survive logout/login, on current hirsute they do not; just as installed systems.
** more notes
this could be related to the above-below orientation of a number of my boxes; so won't be experienced by many users. My guess I've been noting this for about a week (very subjective), including on my primary box (maybe 3 logins; it's not occurring on suspends which I use most nights). On my primary box, I experienced a crashed session (forced logout) and was willing to blame it as a consequence of the crashed session; this is a pristine install.
(I believe i've seen it on landscape+portrait, but I'll have to confirm that via re-test, (either one of d780 or d755-8, but as I couldn't re-create on other box I ignored it. I've filed now as this is now 3 sets-of-displays involved meaning at least 3 boxes; each of my displays are used by multiple boxes)

testcase: install alongside
..
reboot, login to new system, .. adjust displays to match my setup ..
on logout, I logged back in and displays returned to default (as it was on first login), not my applied/saved changes.. so https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ lxqt-config/ +bug/1905947
this box uses landscape+portrait displays, so different monitor.setup to the dc7700
