Ubuntu doesn't remember my monitor layout after logout or reboot

[timuckun]

After connecting my laptop to the external monitor I set up different resolutions for the external and internal screens and their layout. After I log out or reboot and then connect it doesn't remember those settings and I have to do it all over again.

Could you include the journal log after getting the issue?

Once I disconnect from the 4k monitor my cursor remains huge I tried to take a screenshot but it doesn't take the cursor I took a picture of the screen with my phone here they are

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Everyone please ensure you are actually logging in again too :)

If you're only concerned about the login screen then that is bug 1760849.

Actually, let's use bug 1292398 since that's the one most users are finding.
