xfce4 problem on ubuntu 14.04
 

Hello friends,

I am using xubuntu 14.04. My problem is my display signal is lost when I unplug and plug hdmi cable back to my pc. This problem is with xfce4. If I start xterm or xbmc directly using xinit then I do not experience this behavior. I have never faced such a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 and xfce4. what can be the problem with xfce4 on ubuntu 14.04 ? Please help

My hardware - Corei3 3120M, 2GB ram, 16GB msata

Did you install it as Xubuntu, Ubuntu+Xubuntu-desktop, or Ubuntu+Xfce4? They all will run, but the details of how they treat xorg differ. I've never been entirely happy with only Ubuntu+Xfce4, but if I add apt-get install xfce4-goodies it seems to go smoothly.

Edited to add: this is all on 14.04

I also use U 12,04 and am looking at a Xfce4 . so thanks albinard for the ideas to load differently.

Same here
 

Same issue here. XUbuntu, DVI connection to screen (Samsung Smart TV)
No problem under Debian Stable (Wheezy), with XFCE 10, NVIDIA card
Tried:
- switching Nouveau driver for latest NVidia driver (from repo)
- switched lots of settings. Sorry, not really structured one by one, but just playing around.
- screen saver settings
- power management settings

No difference...
