Hi,

I am facing some problems with the desktop display.I can see at a time 5 mirror images of my desktop.What ever i am doing in the first screen ,its getting reflected in the other mirror screens.

Please someone help me to overcome this problem.I want single display without any mirror reflections.

Thanks,
Kiran

Are you outputting to five additional -physical- monitors? Or are you doing virtual monitors, aka multiple desktops?

Check to make sure you didn't have some option triggered to output(or mirror) to all monitors/desktops. I know that Linux w/multiple desktops has one option (somewhere) allows you to "repeat" a given program to all desktops, so you always have access to it no matter what desktop you are on.

Now, if you're only doing 5 windows that are each doing a vm... The only thing i can think of, is they are somehow each doing terminal back to the main OS and your current terminal. Though, i find it hard to imagine being able to terminal five VMs into the exact same tty (or xterm). I thought, whether externally or internally, each terminal was limited to one user logged in.

I didn't output to multiple VM's . In single VM desktop itself showing 5 mirror images of the desktop.

If i am doing any work in first desktop mirror...the same get reflected in the other 4 mirrors and i can able to use the first desktop image only ,the other 4 mirror are useless,just only reflecting the first desktop work.

2 days back, my VM IP got changed dynamically .Because of this one of my application is not working properly getting I/O exception.For this i have updated the file /etc/hosts with the currnet IP ,then restarted my VM that's it the problem got started.

Previously also i had the same IP issue and i have changed the file /etc/hosts ,but that time i didn't face this problem.

I have attached two screenshots of VM desktop.

well... go to your display settings... is one of the options "mirror displays"?

Then again... what you're showing on the pictures is more of... the vm is set to a high resolution, BUT Ubuntu is set to a lower resolution and isn't scaling properly.

I loaded a LiveCD of Ubuntu on my laptop and did a quick test... dropped the resolution way lower than what my monitor runs natively (800x300 vs 1920x1080) and then reverted back. What I saw for a split second as it was reverting back, was the 800x300 layout tiled across the 1920x1080 display.

In display settings ..Mirror display option is showing in-active.

Please find the below attached screen shot.

In think there is no other way...I have to use Other Ubuntu VM image copy...

Dunno what to tell you... Only thing left i can think of is standard troubleshooting tip... Try undoing the IP/hosts change (temporarily) to see if the resolution fixes itself.

Are you sure didn't inadvertently modify something else when you fixed the IP issue?

Edit: i attempted to see what i could do with ubuntu installed on a vm in my win8 desktop and didn't know how to change the resolution... Googling it showed that some linux startup cfgs needed to be changed... Check those for resolution settings.

Hi Goobers....Thanks for the message. After undoing the IP changes also still i have the same problem...no luck.
