Bug ID: 523739
Summary: Plasmashell not shown on secondary virtual outputs
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When we select "Share virtual screen" in more than one screen-sharing session,
the same virtual output gets mirrored across the 2 sessions. Those outputs can
be manually separated by going to "Display & Monitor" settings.
After separation, normal operations such as window movement continue to work
fine in the new outputs, but plasmashell fails to load on them. Plasmashell
loads on only 1 of the virtual outputs. That output shows windows, but there is
no wallpaper visible, and the right-click desktop menu doesn't appear.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a screen sharing/recording application such as OBS Studio.
2. Add multiple Screen Capture sources, and select "Share virtual screen" in
each of them.
3. Go to System settings -> Display and Monitor, and separate the outputs.
OBSERVED RESULT
Out of all the virtual outputs, the wallpaper shows on only 1 of the outputs;
the rest appear as a black background. Wallpaper is rendered by plasmashell, so
plasmashell is not loaded.
EXPECTED RESULT
All virtual outputs should load plasmashell.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.7.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.28.0
Qt Version: 6.11.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Restarting plasmashell with "kquitapp6 plasmashell; plasmashell & disown"
command doesn't seem to work.
