I have a laptop (primary screen) and a HDMI monitor, i'm using Nvidia (370) drivers - my laptop screen (primary) is on the right side and HDMI monitor on the left.. When I initially set it like that is was fine, however on reboot my primary display is just a black screen (no wallpaper and no ability to right click on it) - to 'fix' it I have to disable the monitor from system-settings, then re-enable it to get the display back - when I do I see my wallpaper again. The monitor settings works fine until I restart and it happens again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup monitors 2. Reboot Actual Results: Unable black desktop, no wall paper, no way of interacting with it (right click to open menu does nothing) Expected Results: I expected my desktop to be as it was before rebooting/logging out. I am running Nvidia-370 driver, it works perfectly in KDE neon/plasma 5.8
This bug has been fixed in Plasma 5.8, please upgrade. :)
Sounds like this bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370411 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 370411 ***
Leaving open as unsure if its going to be fixed in kubuntu 16.10/plasma 5.7.5

It won't unless that kubuntu upgrades to Plasma 5.8.
Thanks Sebastian Kügler Looks like its time to drop Kubuntu and change to neon.
May be related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356225 Multi-monitor is better than nothing-- good work devs because in the face of something extremely difficult from my perspective (as a software developer myself), it works okay. But, sometimes it doesn't and there is room for improvement. Thank you to anyone that picks up the banner and runs with it.
