Bug ID: 360430
Summary: kscreen randomly rewrites screen configuration
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.5.95
Platform: Exherbo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: li...@bernd-steinhauser.de
I've seen this a lot since 5.5.95. I'm not sure if I saw it before, if so then
it happened only rarely.
I have a screen configuration with three screens. I will attach it to the bug.
The x positions of the screens should be 0, 1920 and 3840 and are correctly
assigned in the config file.
At startup, all three screens are connected (seeing the sddm login screen on
all three).
After login, I'm presented with a clone setup and find in the file above the x
position 0, 0 and 0.
If I disconnect one of the screens (thus a different config file gets loaded),
change the file so the correct x positions are in there and reconnect the
screen, the file is loaded as it should and the correct screen setup is done.
The only messages in journal I could find are:
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xrandr:
Connected output 83 to CRTC 79
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xrandr:
Connected output 85 to CRTC 80
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xrandr:
Connected output 86 to CRTC 81
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xcb.helper:
Detected XRandR 1.4
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xcb.helper:
Event Base: 88
Mar 12 10:02:14 orionis kscreen_backend_launcher[1119]: kscreen.xcb.helper:
Event Error: 145
Then there are some detail messages about the connected screens (layout,
rotation etc.), but nothing interesting there.
Interesting part is that I can't find something in the logs about loading or
saving a screen configuration, but this must have happened since the config
file was changed.
IIRC, the respective log lines should come from kded5 or kdeinit5.
Reproducible: Always
