Monitor can't be enabled "configuration failed" #23

Closed sopyb closed 3 months ago

sopyb commented 3 months ago

I encountered an issue after installing COSMIC. I disabled one of my monitors immediately after installation because I couldn't adjust its position in the settings. I thought toggling it off and on would reset the UI and allow me to configure the monitor's position properly.

However, when I tried to enable the monitor again, I received the "Revert Configuration" prompt, but the monitor remained disabled. I attempted to enable it using cosmic-randr in the terminal, knowing it's the backend for display management. Unfortunately, neither setting the mode nor enabling the display through the terminal resolved the issue.

Disabling and re-enabling the monitor should allow it to be configured and positioned correctly in the display settings, but the monitor remains disabled after attempting to re-enable it, both through the UI and via cosmic-randr in the terminal.

Since it might be relevant, I have an Nvidia GPU and am using driver version 555.58.02.

Sorry if this issue should be reported in the pop-os/cosmic-epoch repository instead.

I found a similar issue https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/issues/492#issue-2455461241

rm ~/.local/state/cosmic-comp/outputs.ron worked for me
