Description Jiri Slaby 2016-03-22 15:44:05 UTC 
I unplugged external monitor, but panel did not appear on the notebook screen. Plasmashell said:
kscreen: Primary output changed from KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "LVDS1" ) ( "LVDS1" ) to KScreen::Output(Id: 67 , Name: "LVDS1" ) ( "LVDS1" )

But the panel is obviously on the second screen. When I replug the monitor, the panel is there.

I had to change .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc in section
[Containments][1]
where
plugin=org.kde.panel
from
lastScreen=1
to
lastScreen=0
and restart plasma by:
killall plasmashell ; plasmashell
to have the panel on the notebook.

BTW sometimes, if I plug an external monitor, I have to do this to have the panel on the primary (notebook's screen) output:
xrandr --noprimary
killall plasmashell
plasmashell >/dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 5
xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary


Reproducible: Always

Can you reproduce it after updates?

> But the panel is obviously on the second screen.

What makes it obviously there as opposed to not existing

What does xrandr -q show after unplugging?

Seems like fixed as I don't remember it recurring.
