Public bug reported:
Description
As part of testing by Ubuntu Budgie users and other distro users who are
on the 26.04 budgie-desktop baseline (v10.10.x) the remaining key issue
has been found to be multimonitor support. Key is where the budgie
panels will be placed.
The budgie-desktop codebase in this area is still assuming X11 style
placement which is wrong in a wayland context - there is no "primary
monitor" for wayland. From a users point of view the placement is
currently always on the monitor positioned closely to 0,0 for screen
placement which is left placement for most users. Users are stating
they want panels to be placed in-front of them with other monitors
placed around this central location.
As such we need a change in the code-base to allow users to define their
"primary monitor" and associated changes to make sure panels are placed
on the users chosen primary monitor together with other areas that have
primary monitor placement elements:
1. run dialog
The change will require a graphical element to budgie-desktop-settings
to allow the user to define their primary monitor and any fallbacks e.g.
if moving a laptop between monitors, disconnecting etc.
Since this is a user interface change I have submitted this UIFe early
to allow oversight by the release team.
The fix is in final preparation - it needs validating by upstream
developers and incorporated into Github before preparing a patch for
Ubuntu Budgie 26.04
This means this will land after Beta.
The UB team will ensure the build for budgie-desktop will be tested via
PPA - we'll ensure the PPA will be built with resolute-proposed and all
architectures.
