I installed via PIP. Do I need to do anything else to activate it

I have a Thinkpad T480 which is connected via HDMI to an external monitor. My preferred set up for this is saved in a profile called HDMI. I am running Pop_OS! 20.04 (and previously 19.10) and for some reason when I restart my machine, the system defaults to 1920 x 1080 on the external monitor. I have an XRandR script that I have bound to my keyboard that I can use to change the resolution, but would prefer for this to be automated.

Do I need to put autorandr in my startup? if so, which switches, knowing that it would not always be HDMI?

Installing via pip only gives you the script without any automation. autorandr -c --default horizontal would be a possible command to run at startup. Have a look at the Makefile and README for more automation, e.g. how to run whenever you plug/unplug a screen.

I am running Pop_OS! 20.04 (built on Ubuntu 20.04). Do you recommend that remove the PIP install and install the .deb here?

or do I just add autorandr -c --default horizontal to my startup applications?

Hi,

I'm using PopOS 20.04 (before used 19.10) with autorandr from official deb package and it works fine to me.

@jalsot Do you do anything autostart wise or is the default install sufficient. I have the profiles set up.

As far as I can see/remember the default deb package installs a systemd service and config is taken from my home settings ~/.config/autorandr/
