Desktop not working on dual Monitor Setup (only on main monitor)

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 02:12

This is probably a dumb question, but I can’t figure this out, I have two monitors, my second monitor works fine, I can right click, create folders, select, but on my main monitor I can’t do anything but add widgets, even if I drag a folder from one screen to another it doesn’t work, even the selection box (when you hold left click on desktop and drag the mouse) doesn’t work.

ik you probably wan’t this

I also should mention, cuz I forgot, it happen after I got wallpaper engine for kde, but even when I change back to a normal wallpaper it still doesn’t fix it.

is that wallpaper engine something you installed? if yes uninstall it and reboot and test…

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 10:30

I uninstalled it, and doesn’t seem to change anything. I just got back to the normal wallpapers, but the problem is still here.

brahma · 6 June 2022 10:36

there is probably some config left from it
try running this:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/kscreen/*
kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
then reboot

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 10:49

That didn’t do anything, it just flipped my monitors and it reset my refresh rate, I got it back to normal, but my main problem is still there.

brahma · 6 June 2022 10:54

create a new user, and test with it if you still got the same issue

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 11:01

Created new user, and it’s working like it should there, no issue other than my monitor being stuck at 24hz but I know how to fix that since I fixed it on my main.

brahma · 6 June 2022 11:05

try these commands:
rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
kbuildsycoca5 --noincremental
rm -rf ~/.cache/*
reboot and test with the bad user
if it doesnt help we can reset your plasma settings, and hopefully that will work

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 11:10

nope, didn’t work. If I reset my plasma setting will anything be deleted? like any packages and game saves? cuz I have some and don’t wan’t to lose them.

brahma · 6 June 2022 11:17

no it resets only plasma settings, nothing is uninstalled, your game saves are not being deleted … the reseting should help, so that you dont have to copy files like game saves from the bad user into the new user …
so reset your plasma settings:
• Log out of the GUI.
• Switch to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F2.
• Log in as the user with the problem.
• Issue the following command:
find $HOME/.config/ -maxdepth 1 -name 'plasma*' -exec rm {} \;
reboot:
systemctl reboot

kollsepta · 6 June 2022 11:20

ok, I can’t do it right now cuz I have to leave, but I will mark it as solved, and thanks.
