Bug ID: 472581
Summary: External screen doesn't turn on until after login
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.6
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-multiscreen
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

***

See

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have an external screen connected to my laptop and I have it configured so
that the external screen is the only screen in use
2. shut down the OS
3. power on the computer and immediately close the lid.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing seems to happen, the external screen doesn't turn on, and doesn't get
any signal.
So I open the lid and see that the login screen is actually showing up on the
builtin screen.
Even if I unplug the screen and plug it back in, nothing changes.
Only if I log in (for which I needed to open the lid), then after logging in,
the external screen turns on and the builtin one turns off
EXPECTED RESULT
>From the very beginning, as long as the external screen is connected, the
system should use the saved configuration, which is to only have the external
screen, and therefore the login screen should show up there.
NOTE: this used to work as expected. Now I turned it on and this happened. I
don't know whether it's something that happens randomly, or if it's a recent
regression. I haven't retried several times, I have immediately come to report
this.
