Kscreen forgetting layout

Tazmain · 2015-09-02 22:00:15

It seems that with Plasma5 Kscreen forgets the Layout if you have multiple monitors been booting a new session after some time has passed. The suggestion on a kde thread was to made the random file name under ~/.locale/share/kscreen/ readonly. However this did not solve the issue. Has anyone found a temporary fix for this? I tried using the nvidia-settings to make an xorg conf file to have the screen layouts saved there but it did not hold either.

Kscreen is utterly and horribly broken. Not remembering layouts is only one of the long lists of problems I've had with it.
To use your xorg.conf, you have to uninstall kscreen, because once KDE loads, kscreen overrides it with its own config. Also, you have to start nvidia-settings with root rights if you want to be able to save the xorg.conf directly.

Seems to be stable right now

Thanks for the heads-up, maybe I'll give it a try. But then, I have a fixed display setup right now, so there is no need to use kscreen...

I don' t know how it seems to be stable for you now. Still broken badly for me. See the list of bugs and you will know how badly it is broken: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?compon … ct=KScreen .
