Description of problem: First, I'm reporting this against gnome-desktop3, because I am not really sure which component would really be in charge of this. Second, this is a regression since F-18. Upgraded to F-19 current and when I connect to my xrdp session using a custom resolution (1600 x 850), Gnome tells me that this does not match any known modes (gives a big dialog box listing modes to which the only option is to exit). This disconnects xrdp session. On the next connect, Gnome is running in 1920 x 1200 mode. No drama, I issue this in the shell (modeline produced by cvt): xrandr --newmode "1600x850_60.00" 111.75 1600 1696 1856 2112 850 853 863 883 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode VNC-0 1600x850_60.00 Session gets disconnected and when I login I get 1600 x 850. Cool. Then I go to the control panel and apply these custom display settings, which get saved into .config/monitors.xml. However, on the next logout/login (note: note disconnect - new session), this is not picked up and I have to do all of the above again. This was not the case in F-18. Note that Xvnc (started by xrdp) is running with the correct geometry option, just like it did in F-18. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-desktop3-3.8.2-2.fc19.i686 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See above. Actual results: Incorrect resolution forced. Expected results: Worked fine in F-18. Additional info:
Created attachment 759960 [details] Dialog box saying that no such mode exists
Let's try setting daemon - seems like there is code in there that's supposed to do this.
Workaround: disable xrandr plugin for gnome-settings-daemon. So, something is busted there.
Disabling xrandr worked for me too. Thanks for that. sudo yum install -y dconf-editor dconf-editor browse to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins > xrandr and uncheck Active I can now connect using rdesktop and force a resolution. rdesktop -g 800x600 192.168.1.xxx
That workaround does not work in F20. For whatever reason, inside Xvnc started by xrdp, xrandr cannot see the actual resolution. So, I put dirty hack in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d: ------------------ #!/bin/bash g=$(pgrep -af "Xvnc ${DISPLAY/\.*/}" | cut -f 5 -d ' ') m=$(cvt $(echo $g | tr x ' ') | tail -n -1 | cut -f 2- -d ' ' | tr -d '"') s=$(xrandr | grep connected | cut -f 1 -d ' ') n=$(echo $m | cut -f 1 -d ' ') xrandr --newmode ${m[@]} xrandr --addmode $s $n ------------------
(In reply to Bojan Smojver from comment #5) > So, I put dirty hack in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d: Probably slightly safer hack: ------------------- #!/bin/bash g=$(pgrep -af "Xvnc.*${DISPLAY/\.*/}" | \ sed -e 's/.*-geometry \+\([0-9x]\+\).*/\1/' 2>/dev/null) if [ -n "$g" ]; then m=$(cvt $(echo $g | tr x ' ') | grep ^Modeline | cut -f 2- -d ' ' | tr -d '"') s=$(xrandr | grep connected | cut -f 1 -d ' ') n=$(echo $m | cut -f 1 -d ' ') xrandr --newmode ${m[@]} xrandr --addmode $s $n fi -------------------
Note that the above hack (from comment #5 or comment #6) only works if .config/monitors.xml exists. In other words, one has to go to settings and pick that display resolution (which will write that file).
Hello all. I can't install dconf-editor: [henderb@kepler ~]$ sudo yum install -y dconf-editor .... Downloading packages: Running transaction check Running transaction test Transaction check error: file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ca.desrt.dconf-editor.gschema.xml from install of dconf-editor-0.18.0-2.fc20.i686 conflicts with file from package dconf-0.14.1-3.fc18.i686 Resumen de errores ------------- [henderb@kepler ~]$ However, i solved my screen size problems with the following commands in the remote desktop (you must do the trick in the "bad" screen size display): [henderb@kepler ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 32 x 32, current NNNN x MMM, maximum 32768 x 32768 VNC-0 connected primary NNNNxMMM+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1920x1200 60.0 1920x1080 60.0 1600x1200 60.0 1680x1050 60.0 1400x1050 60.0 1360x768 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 1280x960 60.0 1280x800 60.0 1280x720 60.0* 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.0 640x480 60.0 [henderb@kepler ~]$ xrandr -s 1280x720 [henderb@kepler ~]$ Hope this helps.
This kinda works in F-21/22. On first ever login, xrdp won't be able to connect. However, later on, a connection will be established and Gnome will suggest a custom resolution in display settings (based on VNC). So, from my perspective, this can be closed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
