Description Tuxik 2016-10-29 10:16:22 UTC
Hi. When I saw 'LTS' keyword in Plasma 5 release, I thought, maybe now it is usable and a bit stable. I reinstalled my system and switched from stable 4.14.4. Seems was bad idea. 

I have 4 monitors on GTX660. 
Every time I reboot/shutdown from Plasma, I loose wallpaper on the monitor, that is only working on bios bootup (the rest three powers on after KMS). Also, my main panel moves to that monitor, however it was on my 'primary' monitor, as defined in system settings. And this happens every reboot. 

Please help save my settings.
Kernel 4.7.10
plasma-meta-5.8.2 from kde-overlay, Gentoo

P.S. Guys, I love KDE and will never switch from it, but please, don't do unstable release more marked as 'stable' and don't use all people as testers. You loose all followers. 'plasma is not crashing?' nobody believes. Please don't repeat kde4 and kde5 mistakes. Focus on stability.

Provide also Qt version.
Comment 2 Tuxik 2016-10-31 08:25:11 UTC
Qt version 5.6.1
Comment 3 Marco Martin 2016-10-31 12:48:51 UTC
does this happens also if you kill and restart the plasmashell process from a terminal as opposed to restarting the whole session?

make sure all outputs are known

at startup, if a screen id is missing from the screenpool mapping
containment::screen() will return -1 for a moment in the startup
phase even if it has a valid lastScreen

populate mappings of eventual missing stuff at screenpool ctor

make sure destroyed containments don't get assigned a view

Avoid connecting to screen changed signals twice

Summary:
load() can be called multiple times; either from setShell or
loadLookAndFeelDefaultLayout. We still only want addOutput once when a
screen is added

Load screenpool at the same time as we connect to screenchanged signals

Summary:
Otherwise we have a gap during load (waiting querying kactivities))
between screen pool being created and us connecting to the screen
changed signals, which in turn are used to update screen pool.

In particular the primary screen can get out of sync between the current
state and the screen pool.

Test Plan: Based on Christopher Feck's research and initial patch
