Description Grégoire Paris 2011-07-18 08:10:37 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

After rebooting my system, the changes I saved as default in kcmshell display are not taken into account. I use dual-head and when I reboot, one screen is the clone of the other, and uses a wrong resolution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the display settings
2. Make some changes
3. Save as default
4. Reboot

Actual Results:  
Settings are not taken into account

Expected Results:  
Take my settings into account.

There is no xorg.conf in my /etc/X11/

Are you sure you're not just experiencing #275360? Which system shell do you
use?

Yes, I'm sure I'm not experiencing this other bug, because I'm using a GUI (I'm going to post a screenshot of it in attachement), which makes your second question irrelevant (but FYI, I use zsh, which is so cool).
I launch the GUI from krunner

BTW, running ps faux | grep kcm when the software is launched shows this:
ps faux|grep kcm

Comment 5 Philippe Cloutier 2011-08-10 20:46:32 UTC

Yes, you use a GUI, but GUI-s and shells can cohabit. The file configured by krandr, krandrrc, is red by a shell script at startup, krandrsetup. That script was buggy up to KDE 4.6.5. So which system shell do you use (not necessarily the same as your user shell)? Which distribution do you use? Does the problem persist with 4.6.5?

Comment 6 Grégoire Paris 2011-08-11 08:31:12 UTC

Is my system shell the thing /bin/sh points to? If yes then it must be dash :
⚡ ll /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-05-06 19:30 /bin/sh -> dash

I'm currently using Ubuntu with KDE 4.6.2, I'll try to update soon.

Comment 7 Philippe Cloutier 2011-08-11 08:32:41 UTC

Yes. As dash is your system shell, you're most likely just experiencing #275360.

Comment 8 Grégoire Paris 2011-08-11 08:44:02 UTC

I upgraded, and it know works. Thanks a lot!
