Update,
It appears the WiFi Fix is not stable... After a period of time, 1 ~ 2 hours it starts to disconnect.
I'm going to start another thread, otherwise this thread will become even more confusing.

Gee that sux , tought it was resolved .
Re: Loose xfce desktop when HDMI disconnected - Wirezfree - 01-11-2015
To put this thread back on track.
Summary:
I have a Monitor with 2 X HDMI inputs
Original PC ~ LL 2.0 on HDMI#1 , New PC ~ LL 2.2 on HDMI#2
If I swap the input on monitor between HDMI#1 & #2
I loose the xfce desktop on New PC on HDMI#2
It is not the monitor/cables I have swapped around cables and input sockets.
I do believe it is LL 2.2 config/set-up.?.. Why.??
In an effort to diagnose a separate WiFi issue I created a Ubuntu 14.10 (kernel 3.16) live boot USB stick.
(( WiFi issue to be described in another thread ))
What I found was If I boot the Ubuntu, I'm able to switch the display between LL 2.0 & Ubuntu without any issues.
To re-verify, I then booted my LL 2.2 Live USB stick, I see the same issue with Live and Installed, If I switch my
monitor input I loose my desktop. The only way to get it back is a ctrl-alt-F3 and do a:
Code:
sudo service lightdm restart![[Image: wVUqKEl.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/wVUqKEl.jpg)
Thanks... Dave

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help out on this...
It's like something in xfce configuration get's lost/messed up when LL is not seeing a display.??

What s the monitor wirezfree , might be a monitor driver issue here .
Also , does your graphic card(s) support hdmi also !

Re: Loose xfce desktop when HDMI disconnected - Wirezfree - 01-13-2015
Hi,
Not giving up, more Googling led me to this:
It talks about TV on HDMI being turned OFF,
Which is what I suspect the result of me me switching inputs on the display.??
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11107
It seems like it's what I'm experiencing,, But not sure what to do.?
There are some patches, but I have no idea what to do with them.?
There is also this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1308105
Any pointers on what to do welcome
Dave
