Description Piotr Mierzwinski 2026-01-31 22:27:36 UTC
SUMMARY
I connected gogle VR , and used WivRn server (running on PC) + WivRn client (running on headset) + wayvr (running on PC) to stream desktop(s). On new, streamed screen I start konsole, where I start any application - I tested with mplayer. Unfortunately it's window appears on main screen instead of new streamed screen, so I need to manually move it to new screen.
I suppose good substitute to test could be also connecting with a projector or even TV.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect gogle VR and run  WivRn server (on PC) + WivRn client on headset + wayvr to stream desktop(s)
   I think good substitute could be connect projector or TV via HDMI or USB3 (I didn't test this with Plasma 6)
2. on new streamed/virtual screen run konsole
3. in running konsole run any application, I tested with mplayer

OBSERVED RESULT
Window of application is shown on main screen, when konsole is working on streamed/virtual screen

EXPECTED RESULT
Window of application should be shown on the same screen, where konsole works
