GDBus.Error when trying to enable second screen
I connected an external screen to my laptop, but my desktop didn’t automagically extend to it, as it used to do about a year ago (older version of Ubuntu). I went to the display settings. The screen was listed there (correct resolution, brand name, etc.). But when i put the switch on ‘on’ and click ‘apply’, i get this error:
Failed to apply configuration: %s GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR
It’s been like this for a few months now, but i’d really like to be able to use an external screen/beamer again. Any ideas? Thanks.
Try using the arandr tool, worked for me. sudo apt-get install arandr It’s just a simple graphical frontend for xrandr. It’s easy to use and self-explanatory.
I had the same issue: Tried the dconf
route, but it crashed unexpectedly. Took Sasha Shepards advice with ARandR and it worked great. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Memory: 5.9 GB Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II x4 840T Processor x 4 Graphics: GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW! OS Type: 32-Bit Disk: 148GB Hope this helps!

dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active true did nothing and arandr looks pretty incomprehensible to me. If you are otherwise stymied, it is worth giving xrandr a try. The documentation is here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2#First_discover_what_we_have
And I was able to fix this by doing:
xrandr --current xrandr --output VGA1 --off xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1
The first command is to see what displays I have connected.
$ xrandr --current Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 connected 1920x1080+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 509mm x 286mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1280x1024 60.0 1440x900 59.9 1280x800 59.8 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 70.1 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
There is much extraneous data, but I only need the names of the two displays. I see:
And I think it is safe to assume that VGA is the external monitor. So then I turn it off
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1
and when I move my cursor to the right edge of the laptop screen, it appears on the external monitor. Success.

I recently updated my system and now it giving me an error:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.cinnamon.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files
How can I easily start troubleshooting this issue?
I’ve got an IBM T520 laptop with built-in i915:
[blah@blah ~]$ lspci -v -s `lspci | awk '/VGA/'` 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21cf Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 28 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at 5000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at [disabled] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 [blah@blah ~]$
Any help would be appreciated

Re: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown error
Have you fixed the error in your fstab?
What does the title of the thread have to do with your issue? And what is your actual issue: you can’t login? You can’t login to a TTY? X doesn’t start?

Re: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown error
The title of this thread is the subject of the error window .
Anyway, I have Gnome and SLiM, when I login to SLiM, I get my desktop, but (with external display) I can’t
change resolution, both at 1024x. My fonts are wrong, and I get this message:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.cinnamon.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files
Do I need to provide more logging?

Visual situation (if I’m allowed to post):
But when I start an application like Remmina (RDP) for example my display does give a fullscreen :

I keep reading and re-reading this thread and I still have no idea what it’s about.
What is the problem that you are trying to fix?

Re: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown error
1. I turn on laptop
2. Login into my desktop
3. My display is low resolution and external display too, fonts and theme settings are gone (gnome)
4. I want to change resolution
5. Get error message like above
Checked my logs, tried reverting packages I updated
Still the same GDBUS thing.

Re: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown error
I went to google.com and did a search for this phrase:
Failed to apply configuration: %s
and found many many many many results describing the same problem you are having, including many solutions.

Re: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown error
Haha, well:
1. I turn on laptop
2. Login into my desktop
3. My display is low resolution and external display too, fonts and theme settings are gone (gnome)
4. I want to change resolution
5. Get error message like above

Still the same GDBUS thing.
Maybe there is an conflict when the X starts on 2 monitors with 2 different resolutions.
It depends from your graphic card. For example, on my nvidia when X starts with both internal and external monitors plugged in, the resolution is messed up. But when you enter to your desktop, usually it reads the last resolution states and the screen resolution problem if fixed.
One solution is to plug the external monitor after desktop is loaded or create a config file for the monitors on the /etc/X11/. folder Xorg wiki
