Bug ID: 382090
Summary: Load monitorconfig on startup from system location
Product: KScreen
Version: git
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kded
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: david.kahle...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Please load the monitor config on startup from readonly locations too, and not
only from the users home directory.
Usecase: you have some workstations used by many different users. The
workstations have multiple monitors and you want to configure them at a central
place for all users. Otherwise every user needs configure them manually. Thus
you could drop a monitor config to e.g. /usr/local/share/kscreen and the config
will be picked up by the users kscreen if they login to the workstation for the
first time.
We have exactly this situation at my university and use a patched kscreen to
solve this problem. Unfortunately I think our patch doesn't address all edge
cases, because KScreen:Serializer assumes to have a writeable config file
location in many places, so it would be nice if someone with a deeper
understanding of the code could implement it correctly.
