SUMMARY

When I connect the external monitor to the laptop and power on laptop with its lid closed and start plasma. it shows black screen on startup. I can't right click on it. Wallpaper is not shown. latte-dock crashes sometimes. but everything else seems to works. I can start konsole, Firefox ..etc from krunner. I have to restart plasmashell with command `killall plasmashell && plasmashell`. Sometimes nothing opens up and I have to open laptop lid to be able to open konsole and restart plasmashell

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect external display to laptop
2. press power button and close the laptop lid
3. on bootup, start the plasma x11 session

OBSERVED RESULT

greeted with black wallpaper and cant right click or draw selection rectangle on desktop

EXPECTED RESULT

greeted with wallpaper, can right click and draw selection rectangle on desktop.

Sounds like plasma crashed. Can you get a backtrace for `plasmashell`? See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports.

I can see it running in ksysguard. i have to kill it and start again.
