Working config, generated after moving bad one elsewhere
Hmm, I think what might have happened here is that the panels were only created on the "main" display (the phone screen), and after plugging it into a dock and unplugging, the phone screen became recognized with a different set of containments. We probably need to ensure that all screens get the panels, not just the "main" display... |
Created attachment 183692 [details] Config file that made plasma-mobile unusable SUMMARY I plugged my Pinephone into a USB-C dock, with a HDMI monitor, keyboard and mouse, and turned on the "Docked Mode" quick-setting. After unplugging and turning off "Docked Mode", the Plasma shell no longer matched the initial plasma-mobile setup: it just showed a couple of desktop icons, and no panels. Dragging up could open the application launcher; but dragging down just showed a search box, not the notifications/quick-settings/etc. I eventually found that the new shell layout was coming from `~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.mobileshell-appletsrc`; renaming that file and restarting `display-manager` gave me the original plasma-mobile shell. I think this *may* be caused by something in systemsettings, since I was playing with some settings like the wallpaper. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Plug in an external monitor 2. Enabled "docked mode" 3. Change the wallpaper? 4. Unplug monitor and disable "docked mode" OBSERVED RESULT Plasma shell has lost its panels, pull-down menu, etc. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma shell remains with its original configuration.
