Hello, I saw the same symptom. When I plug the second screen, the two screens come black, although all applications are running. After started with the main screen only, I saw that the file for settings of second screen was wrong. After deleted it, the system works. I join my files ~/.kde4/share/apps/kscreen/0a24727c50cc715f21df40eed92b1e43 Working system/buggy system. Created attachment 97349 [details]

Buggy configuration file
This file was written when I asked to disable the second screen or when I unplugged it after disabled. The problem was discovered at next attempt to use it by plugging it.
I add information on my system: Mageia 5 kscreen-1.0.71-3.mga5 I renamed a kscreen directory (to kscreen_back) in .config somewhere (can't seem to find it anymore) and it's working now, so it does seem to be something to do with configuration. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Hello, Now I use Mageia 6 and Plasma 5. I have no more encountered this problem, although I have another one. |
