I am running the latest version of GNOME and Wayland on my Manjaro computer. When I connect my second monitor and extend my display, one screen flickers and the mouse icon leaves a trail, with a black background. However, I can still open applications and drag them to the second screen, which works fine. Mirror mode for two screens works great. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
After trying some more things, it seems everything except the background is working, the bottom bar is working, when i press super key it will take me to menu where I can move.
When I try to screenshot the buggy monitor it just screenshots the normal background. (The background picture)
I tried updating GNOME and Wayland, also tried to update the whole system with pacman -Syu to no avail. Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.

I am running MATE desktop with 4 monitors. I maximize 4 app windows across these but my neutral neck/eye-line position is comfortable with the lower left one. Right now when I need to look at the other monitors I have to move my neck around (which I do not mind occasionally) but when I need to work on them I either move the window to my main monitor (lower left/3rd quadrant) covering up the original app that is displayed there, or just glance towards that monitor which is okay for a few minutes but strains my neck a bit if it goes beyond 5 mins or more.
the most efficient way I can think of this is to shuffle the displays around (clockwise or counterclockwise) via a key combination.
I am aware about SHIFT+Fn key+arrow keys which throws the active window around but this isn't what I'm looking for.
A bit of googling led me to xrandr commands which changes the display orientation but not (or I haven't found the command yet) the screen ordering. I'm not sure if I'm using the terms correctly thus it might be affecting the quality of the search results.

For the past few days in my kali linux machine, the home screen is appearing entirely blank. All the files that were save there is not showing and the floating dock is not appearing like before when i move my cursor to the left. I searched stackexchange and saw that I have to modify some settings in tweak. But I cannot change a thing is tweak. Here is how it appears.
and this is how the extension region of Tweak appears.
Please help, what to do. As I am having a lot of problems due to the dock missing from the side, and all the desktop icons removed. (though i can access them via files).
In the tweaks program, turn the following extensions on: Dash to dock, Desktop icons.
Dash to dock is the left sidebar.
Desktop icons extension shows the files on the desktop.

Ok so I know it's a weird case but hang in here with me.
So the thing is I've got an very old laptop running ubuntu 14.04 server without any desktop aka shell only. BUT the laptop also has a touch screen so we want to be able to use the "mouse"/touchscreen/touchpad to select text inside the terminal and/or click/copy/paste/cut/etc. It's part of art project with some students and also one of the tasks is to run as less as possible. So running a desktop in the background is not really an option. My question is:
Is there a way to start the Ubuntu terminal as UI application in fullscreen without the actual desktop in the background but giving the functionality of an mouse cursor.
(If someone knows a even better solution for adding a mouse without starting the desktop its appreciated)
Try this: create a ~/.xinitrc with content : exec gnome-terminal, then run startx
Or another solution is to stay in tty and install gpm for mouse control

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday and since then I have a problem with the mouse cursor.
It starts randomly disappearing and flickering a lot mostly when you try to close the window.
I have searched for a solution on Google and here but didn't find anything.
I had the same problem some time back when using ubuntu 14 version. You can fix it manually by going to Open System Settings > Displays. In the Displays window, you will see an Unknown monitor. Click it and disable it.
If you have 2 built in display in red and green color.. Disabling the green built in display will solve the issue.

I have a dual monitor setup, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I have changed the positioning of the monitors several times, and now for some reason some of the windows open up off-screen (outside of both screens), Update Manager, for instance.
How can I position the windows on one of my screens?
You can get the window back on your screen by using
ALT + spacebar
This would show you the maximize/minimize/ ... options. Click maximize and it would occupy your screen.
You can also hit "move" and then either your mouse or arrow keys to move the window to your current window.
Be sure to have the off-screen window selected (use Alt-Tab or Super-W for example). Then hold Alt+F7 and move the window with the cursor keys until it appears in the viewport.
When this happens to me the hidden window is usually below the screen (I occasionally use two screens with one on top of the other, a setup that agrees well with a laptop on a desk). If you use Super-W to select the window, you can guess where it is by looking at the animations. Holding Alt+F7+Up brings the window into view for me.
I made a little script to fix a similiar bug I have in ubuntu 15.04 with two screens: https://github.com/mezga0153/offscreen-window-restore
The script makes use of the wmctrl command line tool to find the offscreen windows and then uses wmctrl to place each one back into a visible area.
