SUMMARY If I programmatically toggle on/off a monitor with kscreen-doctor from a global KDE shortcut, the process just hangs and the screen is never toggled. The same exact invocation on the command line succeeds. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go in the settings, and create a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable your monitor. In my case, `kscreen-doctor output.DP-3.enable/disable` 2. Execute the shortcut 3. Notice that nothing happens and that the kscreen-doctor process hangs and needs to be killed 4. Execute the same command in a shell, and notice that it executes successfully OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens and that the kscreen-doctor process hangs and needs to be killed. The exact same command run in the shell, or pinned on the Task Manager works as expected. EXPECTED RESULT kscreen-doctor command to run successfully without hanging. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 38 Kinoite / Wayland KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10
Same issue here, I can provide some logs but from what I can tell, it hangs the moment it needs to be enabled
I have a related (possibly same) problem on 5.27.8 (Arch). When I run a command such as: kscreen-doctor output.DP-2.mode.2560x1440@165 output.DP-2.position.0,0 This is my output: kscreen.doctor: Taddaaa! Found mode "1" "2560x1440@165" kscreen.doctor: Output 1 set mode "2560x1440@165" kscreen.doctor: Output position QPoint(0,0) kscreen.doctor: Set output position QPoint(0,0) kscreen.doctor: setop exec returned KScreen::Config( KScreen::Output(1, "DP-2", connected enabled priority 1, pos: QPoint(0,0), res: QSize(1920, 1080), modeId: "1", scale: 1.5, clone: no, rotation: KScreen::Output::None, followPreferredMode: false) KScreen::Output(2, "HDMI-A-1", connected disabled priority 0, pos: QPoint(1707,0), res: QSize(1920, 1080), modeId: "0", scale: 1, clone: no, rotation: KScreen::Output::None, followPreferredMode: false) ) [a@aPC ~]$ Initializing "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/plasma/kcms/systemsettings/kcm_fonts.so" Please notice the last line. You can see my shell prompt followed by "Initializing ... kcm_fonts.so" It hangs here unless I press ENTER.
Can't reproduce in Plasma 6.2, the command is executed without a problem
