Bug Description

Hi,

I have 2 Display. If i deactivate 1 i cant active the second one because the Displayapp crashes. I had to enable the monitor with xrandr over the terminal, than i can configure the two Displays.

The segmentation fault comes in the syslog.

Hi all, i've the same problem.
I user xrandr to switch monitor.
There is a better solution to solve this problem? Because everytime i boot up, os select by default the wrong monitor, and it is uncomfortable.

Hello,

i've had the same error. Installing & Setting up Elementary OS with two Monitors was no Problem.
But when i removed one to use it for another PC and plug it back in it happend.
The Display Application crashes as soon as i "checkbox" the second Monitor for use.

I also fixed it with arandr (xrandr + GUI),
but i had to set the Monitors to mirrored first to set it at the Displays App to segmentation.

For me launching the display plug crashes switchboard as well. Kind of annoying:

It is not tweak plug bug. I have the same issue, without tweaks:

Found the cause... sorry.

Somehow I was using daily instead of global on Freya. I never intentionally set that though.
