 Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2024 4:32 pm Post subject: Another kde6 problem: display is shifted after login[Solvd] |
 |
|
I see others are having kde 6 problems.
As the title says. What's happening is that the display is shifted slightly to the left, so that the left side of the display is at around the 80% mark measured from the left side of the screen. The screen works, the mouse wraps, but of course this is annoying.
The problem can be fixed by going to settings -> display and changing the frequency to something else and then changing it back to the standard setting, but of course this is an annoying fix.
I was having other kde 6 problems so I wiped all my settings, this shouldn't be a clash of old kde 5 config files clashing with kde 6 (if I wiped all config files correctly, which is not a trivial task).

We used to be able to disable kscreen, but there is no "start-up config" (or whatever it was called) now.
There is kscreen-console and kscreen-doctor, which you may be able to script to effect an "automatic fix" with, and certainly use to find any errant config files, at least until something trickles down from upstream... |

If it turns out to be a Plasma 6 bug, you will obviously have to go upstream with your details, since downstream packaging will not be able to help you with such a problem.. But you haven't even stated if that was a Wayland or X session yet. Regarding config - did you also remove ~/.cache?
This is not something I have ever heard from, and it really sounds related to specific hardware/driver circumstances. Hence, more details needed. |

@Ralphred: I don't understand what kscreen does or how it affects the problem.
@astrum: I don't know if it is upstream or not. I did not remove all of .cache. I removed all files in .config, .local, and .cache that looked like they had something to do with kde or plasma.
I had kde5 for years on my machine and this did not happen. It only happened after the kde 6 upgrade.
the machine uses wayland (both on kde5 and kde6), so I don't think wayland is the cause. I am happy to post hardware/software details. what would you like? |

I'm saying, nothing we (in Gentoo) do can possibly cause that. Just make sure you have kde-plasma/plasma-meta installed, then you can say you use Plasma as supported by Gentoo maintainers.

No doubt, if you mean Plasma 5 to Plasma 6.

Just try with X11 session anyway? It's so easy to simply try and add another data point on your way to diagnose the problem, way easier than creating a fresh testuser profile just for testing, which btw you should also try. |

yes, I have plasma-meta installed. I don't see how it could be impossible that gentoo introduced such a bug, but I take your point that it is unlikely.

I don't really want to do that as that will mess up my config for everything, won't it?. I guess config files are in .config. So you think that won't mess up my non-kde settings?

Ok
1) I tried with X11 session a few times. Seems to work just fine.
2) My daughter uses this computer with KDE as well. She has not experienced the issue. I don't know if it is because she doesn't use wayland, or what (something in my cache maybe).
I will remove cache and see what happens.
EDIT: Just removed .cache. Same thing happens in Wayland. Wieird shift.. That didn't fix it |

Hi all. It appears that my problem has been solved. I have no idea why it works, but it appears to have worked (in Wayland).
Go to Setttings -> Display and Monitor. Turn off Screen tearing (at the bottom). |
