Bug ID: 464414
Summary: Monitor Desktops disappear and are not interactive
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: cjd...@brokensolstice.com
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Neon
2. Login
3. Allow the screen to lock
4. Come back after 15-20 minutes and enter password to unlock
OBSERVED RESULT
5. At least one monitor goes black, while the other one resembles a desktop you
set up for yourself, but is often missing widgets or other components..
toolbars often times on wrong desktop, or missing altogether. Sometimes both
monitors are black and non-interactive... sometimes both are there, but
reversed (rarely, but has happened)
6. This seems to happen any time the screen locker is engaged for probably
10-15 minutes or more. On short-duration locks, this does not usually occur.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to unlock my screen locker, and see my desktops as I have configured
them. They should work as any other normal desktop.
Instead, every time this happens, it costs me 20 minutes to reset my monitors,
my task bars and my widgets (which I use heavily, mostly 'folder view' for
quick access to numerous applications and remote sessions).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Recently, I've been having issues with my Desktop Monitor configuration too
stating: "An output has been removed. Settings have been reloaded." It will
flash this for 2 seconds, then switch to "An output has been added. Settings
have been reloaded." It would loop like that indefinitely. The monitor would
show, and disappear in the drop down every 2 seconds or so. After obliterating
my unix profile, this has finally stopped, but the other problems persist.
This has been going on since the last major KDE Neon release (22.04). I have
tried wiping all my plasma and KDE settings. I've worked from a completely
pristine profile. I've tried wiping my nvidia settings. I have tried changing
monitor settings, I have swapped out different monitors -- I even swapped out
different graphics cards. I Swapped Display port cables with known good ones.
I have played with every driver available for my nvidia quadro card. Every
time the same result. I thought that I had this numerous times now, but every
time I go away from my desk for more than 20 minutes, I'm proven wrong.
Normally I have probably 2 dozen sessions, applications and terminals open
across 4 different desktops. Rebooting is the only thing that comes close to a
"cure"... but even then, the desktops are usually a mess: they are reversed,
they have no (or the wrong) panels, the widgets are missing, etc. etc. I tried
disabling kscreen2, but that just made both screens go black, and become
unrecoverable. I don't see anything in my X logs, or anything weird in my
dmesg... I'm at a loss. I've spent countless hours trying to debug this. I
even tested this with a KDE Neon install disk -- same thing happens.

I understand this is probably a bug... but is there at least a work-around I
can use for this? It is killing my productivity...
Thank you.
