SUMMARY Hello, KScreen made me a config file that permanently disables my laptop display unless I actually delete a particular config file in "~/.local/share/kscreen". Unless I delete this config file, my external display works fine but my laptop display stays black. I have NEVER edited this file by hand. I am not sure if this is a one time thing or an actual bug, so I am filing this bug report. Of course deleting the file fixes everything. I had the same setup for a few releases. I extend the display upwards as my external monitor is above my laptop display. KScreen config file: https://pastebin.com/cEMT32BD Some hardware info: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/537013-Display-Laptop-display-does-not-work-in-Kwin-Wayland?p=2910338#post2910338 I have other KScreen config files but deleting them shows no effect that I can notice. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Restore bad config file 2. Log out 3. Log in OBSERVED RESULT Laptop display is disabled. If I try to renable it using the Display module in System Settings, both displays either go black or just show three periods ("..."). EXPECTED RESULT Display extended upwards. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Tumbleweed/Plasma 5.16.3 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60 Qt Version: 5.13 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OK, this config file now comes back every time I close the lid on my laptop (my settings is set to "sleep" when lid is closed. The config file always has the same file name ("0d0953ada0527d214bdd3389afe41905") and the same content... The fix is to delete the file again and log out and back in.
Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 5.25 or 5.26? If it is, please change the status to CONFIRMED when replying. If not, or if you can't because you no longer use this setup, you can change the status to RESOLVED WORKSFORME. Thanks a lot!
