> kscreen-doctor output.DP-2.enable
By running this command, I gather that the output was *disabled* in KScreen until you ran the command, and then afterwards, it became enabled again and displayed a picture? Do I have that right?

Yes, that's correct.

Thanks, it looks like Bug 460341, which was fixed in our code and verified by other NVIDIA users. So either you're hitting an edge case, or it's a different issue, or maybe the fix also relies on a specific version of the NVIDIA driver. What driver version are you using?

Comment 4 mashkal2000@gmail.com 2023-06-15 01:24:36 UTC

Here's the driver version: NVIDIA-SMI 525.105.17   Driver Version: 525.105.17   CUDA Version: 12.0

Thanks!

Comment 6 mashkal2000@gmail.com 2024-03-04 05:21:43 UTC

Seems to be fixed by plasma 6 on driver version 535. Was still broken on plasma 5 on 535.

Great, thanks a lot for following up!
