Description mathojojo 2011-12-24 11:18:16 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I just upgraded from 4.7.3 to 4.7.90 (which is 4.8 beta 2, for kubuntu). And I notice this regression :
kcm_randr won't save my dual display settings anymore (each resolution, extended desktop mode, DVI-1 at the right of DVI-0, main output).

It was really working fine on KDE SC 4.7.

I'm sorry that i can't tell you the version of kcm_randr, but it should be the version provided by KDE SC 4.8.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I set first each output and their positions (for extended mode desktop)
I set DVI-0 as main output
I apply thous settings, and then save as default.

When I reboot, all settings are missed. nothing has really been saved.

Actual Results:  
No save of a default display.

Expected Results:  
a working saving option, as it was working in previous KDE SC 4.7

KUBUNTU 11.10
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-14-generic
Compiler: gcc

Hi again,

I can confirm that the bug still ennoying me in KDE SC 4.7.95 (KDE SC 4.8 RC1).

I deleted the .kde directory to have a clean KDE with default settings. I set my extended desktop as wanted, and save it to be my default display configuration.

After a restart, I had to set it again... Settings are lost ! Please, fix this bug before the final release.

Thank you for your attention.

Stephane.

appears to be dup of 292751? (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292751)

Hello,

as said in bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292751,

have you noticed the  "Save a default" button underneath the "identify the screens" button? (labels may differer because i don't have englisch as default)

Does it work if you save the values this way?

I had the same problem until i noticed this (new?) button.

Sincerely Markus

Thanks for reporting your bug.

Since reporting Krandr has since been replaced by KScreen. It is available in the Plasma 4 series, and is default in Plasma 5 onwards.

I hope this solves your issue. If you still have a problem after upgrading please reopen a new bug under kscreen.

Thanks
