SUMMARY When reducing the monitors from 6 to 2, KDE would not complete login to the workspace after password had been completed. Sound would load and then hang at the icons loading at the bottom left of the monitor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Unplug 4 of the 6 monitors, leaving only 2 2. Reboot 3. Login with credentials OBSERVED RESULT The sound would notify and the speakers would notify of login. However the screen would not complete the login to the workspace. The icons loading in the lower left hand screen were stuck on the KDE icons.
