The PC is on battery backup, the monitor is not. Last week there was a power failure. Once power came on, KDE would not turn monitor on (since this was the only monitor available, there was no way to fix KDE from within KDE) Solution:

From the command line, delete the folder ~/.kde4/share/apps/kscreen

I saved a version of the file that I had to delete: ~/bad.kde4/share/apps/kscreen> cat 150e39ecf05f31cc87b56227b5c2c2ba [ { "enabled" : false, "id" : "5752ae2c916ae3ed22233c01125b8e82", "metadata" : { "fullname" : "xrandr-LED Cinema-W82231T96JL", "name" : "DP1" }, "pos" : { "x" : 0, "y" : 0 }, "primary" : false, "rotation" : 1 } ] Once the folder was deleted, this was what was autogenerated: ~/.kde4/share/apps/kscreen> cat 150e39ecf05f31cc87b56227b5c2c2ba[ { "enabled" : true, "id" : "5752ae2c916ae3ed22233c01125b8e82", "metadata" : { "fullname" : "xrandr-LED Cinema-W82231T96JL", "name" : "DP1" }, "mode" : { "refresh" : 59.9506, "size" : { "height" : 1440, "width" : 2560 } }, "pos" : { "x" : 0, "y" : 0 }, "primary" : true, "rotation" : 1 } ] Note that the "enabled" field is "false" in the failed state. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Logging into KDE does not show any output on monitor. Expected Results: kscreen should not disable the only monitor attached to the system, instead maybe put it in a default safe mode or something? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
