Created attachment 105326 [details] printf "[Rules]\nkscreen.*=true" >> ~/.config/QtProject/qtlogging.ini; kscreen-console bug > $(tempfile) Hi Folks I'm running KDE Neon 5.9 (current version, all up to date). Symptom: Infinit wwitching of Display configurations. It does just switch and switch and switch an so on. It just don't stop. When does it occure? Most of the time when I just connected a new screen. But sometimtes when i unlock my screen. For example I'm off wokring for 30 minutes, come back, unlock the screen and it happens. It ONLY happens, when I have a secondary screen connected. Workaround: reboot! After a reboot all is fine again. How often? Today 3 Times! Other days never. From time to time it just happens randomly. Like 2 times a week. Pleas tell me if I can do something to get this bug solved! Salutations Aaron
Hi Aaron, thanks for the bug report! In order to debug this, we need some more information. Please tell us what video card and driver you're using. Also, please produce the kscreen.log file by exporting KSCREEN_LOGGING=true before logging in into your Plasma's environment. I will tell us what kind of even triggers the infinite loop. Have you tried using a different displayport cable, by the way? Intermittent cable failure could easily produce such issues...

Hi Sebastian I have the problem with different cables and different screens. situation 1: at work with a docking station and a display port cable connected to it situation 2: at home with only a display port cable How do I do exactly export the KSCREEN_LOGGING=true variable? Should I just export it in my bashrc? Or is there an other place where I should set environment variables? Today I didn't have the issue yet. I would need to log over some time, until it happens again. Where would kscreen log then? So I can upload the file when it happened again. ;) Thx for your fast answer! Salutations Aaron
I could export the KSCREEN_LOGGING variable. Where does kscreen log now? What file should I upload, when it happens again?
It seems to be: ~/.local/share/kscreen/kscreen.log I'll upload the file when it happens again.
