Bug ID: 503428
Summary: Switch Display menu (Meta+P) does not appear / crashes
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Packages User Edition
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: robbe.profi...@gmail.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The Meta+P shortcut is used by KDE for the "Switch Display" menu (according to
the Shortcuts system settings).
The menu allows for disabling monitors, mirroring or extending.
After an update to the currently (27/04/25) most recent packages, it stopped
appearing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update packages using `pkcon update`
2. Press `meta+P`
OBSERVED RESULT
"Switch Display" menu does not appear.
journalctl --user -xe:
```
Apr 27 12:05:25 <REDACTED> systemd[3393]: app-org.kde.kscreen@<CHANGES EACH
CALL>.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Apr 27 12:05:25 Bumblebee-Linux systemd[3393]: app-org.kde.kscreen@<CHANGES
EACH CALL>.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
```
journal entry appears each time meta+P is pressed
EXPECTED RESULT
The Switch Display menu appears
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 6.3
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Was both tested on main system (which was originally KDE Neon based on Ubuntu
22.04 and upgraded using the tool) and on a "clean VM".
This VM was created using the then (1-2 months ago) most recent image and last
updated around a month ago.
Using Meta + P in the VM resulted in the menu popping up (even without external
displays), but after updating using `sudo pkcon update` the menu no longer
appeared.
I have also attempted to rebind the shortcut, but this also does not work.
`kscreen-doctor -o` finds both monitors (on my main system)
