Oh, in case anyone asked, all KDE4 packages that are supposed to be dual-display aware (so plasma as well) are built with Xinerama support. I would like to second this issue. I am currently running KDE 4.3.2 and first noticed this issue with Kubuntu's 9.04 release, and originally felt it was a configuration file issue due to a distribution upgrade. I since did a clean install of their 9.10 release and the bug remains. I was also able to reproduce the issue under a new user login as suggested at http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=83321&p=135896 I think it should be reassigned as 'multiscreen' component. May I add something that could be the same or a related bug: 1. Configure multiple virtual desktops. 2. Associate a separate activity to each desktop. 3. Configure wallpaper slideshow on every virtual desktop. 4. Log out, log in again. Result: Only one of the desktops has a wallpaper, the remaining desktops have a simple blue background. One note - applies to Weather wallpaper as well - in both activities set wallpaper to 'Weather wallpaper' and configure them. Weather wallpaper will be activated upon startup only on one of activities. When I set up weather wallpaper for activity 1 and slideshow wallpaper on activity 2, it will work, but not when the same effects are set to both activities. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** I can also confirm on Gentoo x86_64, KDE 4.3.4, Qt 4.6.0 with both screens of a twinview setup configured to show a slideshow - only the first containment actually has the slideshow started at login. Going to Desktop Settings->Ok successfully starts it on the second containment. I can confirm this on both gentoo amd64 and x86, kde 4.3.4, with image (no slideshow) wallpaper. whenever x is restarted, wallpaper only comes up on one screen. desktop settings > ok brings it up. I'm starting to think we should raise some funds to provide core plasma and kwin developers with second monitor :) Anyway, issue still present on KDE SC 4.4 RC2 One fellow on #akonadi observed interesting issue with akonadi - I wonder whether it's related to nepomuk issue in dolphin - dbus abuse by either dolphin or nepomuk could cause dbus freezes/crashes... [02-02][19:14:16] <andres> Anybody got a fast idea why akonadi opens 10k dbus connections? [02-02][19:14:59] <andres> (1.3.0) [02-02][19:19:59] <tmcguire> it opens one dbus connection per client session, but there hardly can be 10k sessions... [02-02][19:20:02] <tmcguire> So no idea. [02-02][19:27:52] <reavertm> andres: btw, how do you check that number? I wonder whether it's related to dolphin bug 221196 [02-02][19:27:55] <bugbot> kde bug 221196 in dolphin (general) "Dolphin occasionally temporarily freezes when built with Nepomuk support and Nepomuk running" [Normal,New] https://bugs.kde.org/221196 [02-02][19:29:31] <andres> reavertm: looking at the fds and bus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames and dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID string::whatever [02-02][19:30:55] <andres> reavertm: combined with the bug that dbus accepts more connections than allowed fds and then poll()s on invalid fds in a endless loop thats rather annoying. [02-02][19:32:04] <andres> reavertm: it might be the cause of those bugs - I dont actually really use kde except kdepim... [02-02][19:37:06] <andres> It looses about 20connections/minute... delete ^^^ (I HATE this kde bugzilla "feature" that switches to next bug after adding comment... ugh!) Still there in 4.4.1, FYI It doesn't seem to be a problem anymore with 4.4.92 (4.5rc2 - svn 4.5 branch as of 8.07.2010). *** Bug 234262 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
