Hello, I just got a new ASUS MB169B+ monitor and I am wondering why night color is only on on my laptop display. Also how to do I add a application menu bar panel to the external monitor when every time i try to add it, the panel automatically goes to my laptop monitor and I canât move it.
Update: I figured out how to move the panel to the external monitor by right clicking it editing it, and dragging âScreen Edgeâ. Still have the Night Color problem though.

How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see whatâs really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies⌠-
An
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --widthwould be the minimum required information⌠(Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command) -
The output to
xrandrwould be helpful too!

No need to do anything right now as Iâm an editor here on this site and have fixed it for you already. However, in the future I might not see your post so review my edits by pushing the orange pencil above the post I just fixed.

Kernel: 5.9.16-1-MANJAROis EOL. Try upgrading to 5.4 LTS (Long Term Support) and 5.10 (LTS candidate) in that order. -
Whatâs the output of
grep --after-context=7 "NightColor" ~/.config/kwinrc? -
Can you plug the external monitor in another port than the DisplayLink and see if that works?
How do I change to kernal 5.4 without breaking my system. Somehow the kernal got updated to 5.9 with a package install or something. And how do I keep the system from changing the kernal without my knowledge?
@Fabby So, I already use timeshift. And so I should install a new kernal and I should be using the Linux 5.4.93_rt51-1 kernal?
Sorry for not being clear:
I meant to say: Install both, try them both and even if only one is working, keep them both and get rid of 5.9 after your testing of both 5.4 and 5.10
Which one you end up using is up to you.
Also donât forget to answer:
Okay, so the output of grep --after-context=7 "NightColor" ~/.config/kwinrc is:
[NightColor]
Active=true
Mode=Constant
NightTemperature=2400
[Plugins]
kwin4_effect_dimscreenEnabled=true
And the external monitor is a usb monitor. Sorry if I donât understand what you mean.
Also I tried installing kernal 5.4 rebooted and choose to use 5.4 in the grub but it would not start.
Update: Also trying kernal 5.10, the system starts but on startup I get Error: DisplayLInk service did not start and the monitor does not work.
@Fabby I tried to update to 5.4 from the terminal this time and my system would not start at all with 5.4 or 5.9 anymore so I had to use timeshift to go back to yesterdayâs snapshot.

The only thing left for you to do then is to file a bug with the correct KDE team because I think itâs because you only have a USB monitor because Iâve never seen this with VGA / HDMI / ⌠monitors.
No! Anything except 5.9 is what you have to keepâŚ
For more information on kernel management:
https://www.kernel.org/
- When using a rolling release like Manjaro, Kernel management is something you need to take into account. Some will work, others might not.
- With the information youâve provided, no one can tell you why 5.4 doesnât boot.
- This conversation has now become off-topic from the original problem.
Okay, well thanks.
