Description Simone Gaiarin 2016-10-18 16:16:58 UTC
Running Plasma 5.8.1 some of the multi monitor problems have been fixed but I still have some.
In particular when I configure my hdmi monitor to be the only one active when my laptop lid is closed, the configuration is lost as soon as I open the lid and close it again.

Moreover the panel is still placed in a wrong position time to time and plasma is not working on some screen. (probably these deserve to be bugs on their own). See step below.

I've removed the content of .local/share/kscreen and ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc

The content in the attached kscreen.log contains only the log of the steps below (I've deleted it before starting the test).

I've performed the following steps:
Starting configuration: DP1-2 primary, active, panel on it; eDP1 active no panels; HDMI1 active no panels
- Configure HDMI1 to be disabled
- Close the lid
- Open the lid
- Close the lid
- Open the lid
- Close the lid [Ok everything is maintained]
- Configure HDMI1 to be the only one active (wrong resolution) [No primary output]
- Set correct resolution [Cannot set it]
- Close display settings
- Open display settings
- Set correct resolution [Set correctly]
- Set HDMI1 as primary output
- Open the lid [Panel on eDP1 (wrong position), eDP1 with black desktop, impossible to interact with plasma on it]
- Close the lid [HDMI1 not active, DP1-2 active with panel on it] [Only HDM1 should be active instead]

When the desktop is black plasma output "requesting unexisting screen 1"

Reproducible: Always

The issues with plasmashell should be fixed in master and go into 5.8.4, would it be possible to check if those are at least resolved, then we can move on to the kscreen issue, which I think is underlying to this report.
Comment 3 Simone Gaiarin 2016-11-15 12:12:49 UTC
After reporting this bug I did some more extensive tests, and I've isolated two problems:

Laptop lid configuration lost: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371681

KScreen doesn't recognise the new configuration after waking up notebook: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360058

I think we can close this bug and continue the conversation in the other two bug pages that are more specific.
