--- Comment #10 from [email protected] --- Okay, so I found the config file that had the number of virtual desktop setting: `~/.config/kwinrc`. So I tried to modify it to make it 25 virtual desktops, and 5 rows. And then, like any greedy idiot, I ran `kwin_wayland --replace` without saving unsaved work (a decision I sincerely regret). Kwin crashed, and I was brought to the login screen. However, what shocked me was that after that unfortunate event, I literally couldn't log back in! I kept getting a black screen, waited for a few seconds, and was then returned back to the login screen again. And again. And again! It was only when I logged back in through a TTY and modified that config file back to 20 that I could log in again, as though I just recovered from a restart. The only difference is that they're now five rows, instead of four (so clearly that was the correct file). I dare say the issue has little to do with a system settings app and more with something far more serious, if the window manager literally can't boot me into a working session. But at this point, I can't make any argument as to what's wrong without knowing how Plasma itself works (which I sure as hell don't know). So, I think I've done all that I can for this particular issue. (Unless I received further instructions.) If the system settings apps knows that setting the desktops to more than twenty breaks the entire God damn session, then I must applaud the settings app for preventing me from shooting myself in the foot through the official way. It clearly knows what it's doing, so well done for it. (Please, no offense, nothing against KDE or its great developers; I like to use that expression as a strong intensifier.) In all cases, have a great day. Cheers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
