system76-driver (HiDPI daemon)
Issue/Bug Description
GNOME crashes most of the time I disconnect an external display. When this crash happens, every application I have open is lost and I lost all of my work. This happens at least 3/5 times I disconnect my external display. When I disable the HiDPI daemon, this issue goes away. This is on a Galago Pro.
Steps to reproduce (if you know)
1.) Set the laptop such that you have an external display, keyboard, mouse and power cable attached.
2.) Make sure the lid is closed.
3.) While using the external display as the only display, open some apps on various workspaces (For example, thunderbird on one workspace and firefox on the second)
4.) Disconnect the external display and power cable
5.) Once the laptop has entered suspend mode, open the lid
6.) GNOME will crash, all applications are closed and all work is lost
7.) If for some reason GNOME survives and doesn't crash, repeat steps 1-6 four or five times, it will crash at some point.
Expected behavior
GNOME shouldn't crash when disconnecting a monitor
Other Notes
I have tried the latest updates and still have the issue.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
I am attaching my syslog file. To simplify it, I moved my existing syslog to a new name and had the system regen it. Then, I reproduced the issue as I described above.
Here are some notes about my syslog file:
On line 58 is when the system entered sleep after I disconnected AC and the external display
GNOME shell is killed by line 60
Line 67 complains that the Shell is respawning too quickly. I do see a series of flashes for a while before GNOME finally comes back to life
