I use Ubuntu 17.10 on Dell Latitude 3470 with specs:



CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2)
GNOME: 3.26.2
OS type: 64-bit


For my setup I use 2 external Dell 24" monitors, one is connected via HDMI and second is via VGA D-Sub. HDMI is numbered 2 and VGA is 3 in [Settings > Devices > Displays]. HDMI(2) monitor is on the left and VGA(3) is on the right. Every time I startup my laptop monitor sides get reset to VGA on the left and HDMI on the right, and I have to drag the monitor icons in Settings panel to their appropriate sides. I would like to make these setting persistent between boots. What I can do to achieve this?



I tried to run xrandr via ARandr but I got this error:



xrandr returned error code 1: xrandr configure crtc 0 failed


When I run xrandr --verbose the output is:
