manjaro kde plasma: laptop with hdmi monitor as extended mode.
I was posting previously that xrandr has some bug that does not work (–primary option). My “taskbar panel” sometime jumped to the wrong monitor. I was using this cmdline to set up the monitor configuration. but the --primary option is as good as NONE. I have to use gui to overcome the issue, which is very unlinux like.
Then i was recommended using wayland… Now i switch to wayland from x11… then i was told xrandr is not for wayland… i need to use $kscreen-doctor (which is new thing to me).
after shift to wayland , now i need to learn to use kscreen-doctor to perform xrandr cmd that i need.
after i shift to wayland, i found out my clipgrab app does not able to pickup video url in clipboard anymore… (in x11, i just copy any web video url into clipboard, clipgrab will detect the present of the video url and i can just download the video using it, now no longer works)
after i shift to vim, i realized my "+y and "*y no longer work… i can’t copy text from within vim to outside app via clipboard.
Boy!..
can someone help me ? too much at once.
ps:
search engine told me got this wlr-randr is for wayland too… but when i execute it…:
$ wlr-randr
compositor doesn’t support wlr-output-management-unstable-v1
**i have no idea what is it for. **
all these switching is really killing my time…
ps:
is there way to NOT close this thread automatically if no reply within 36 hrs ?
sometime it takes me time to come back to this forum and before i realized… it is closed… and my problem is not solve yet…
After read https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland found it really has problem with clipboard… That’s too much for me to overcome and impossible. I give up on wayland go back to x11…
Not the time to use wayland, too “in progress”.
I had several issues when switching from a working X installation to Wayland too. But after a reinstallation, which I had to do anyway, Wayland is running fine. There are some minor issues, but overall it’s good.
I guess there’s a major misconfiguration at your end causing all these problems. Or better said: some things need to be reconfigured to work properly.
I know the gui method. However I want cmdline method to arrange my screen. (i move laptop from place to place, always with extend hdmi monitor. When i move back home extended monitor, the configuration often messed up. I dislike gui method, prefer cmdline… 1 cmdline fix the whole display configuration error is what i want. Not like the idea of doing that using gui method.
My $clipgrab -v
ClipGrab 3.9.10
however it does not grab url from clipboard. i tried twice on wayland. when switched to x11, it works just fine.
" Nvidia proprietary drivers is not good with Wayland - that is Nvidia’s issue" . Since you don’t have this issue, then must be the wayland-Nvidia issue. Sadly i am on Nvidia laptop, i can’t change that fact and i still need the system to be working.
Ya, i regret my laptop is Nvidia… a lot of headache using linux… but i don’t have budget for a new laptop.
Thanks for helping ppl using linux…
ya. I am using gvim. i have no idea (have not find soln that works on my laptop yet) what can i do to fix the issue. it runs fine on x11.
The hurdle for me to switch is too many problem i encounter at once, i can’t work with all those 3 issues. I rather have 1 issue (screen configuration issue on dual monitor when using xrandr cmdline) then 3 issues all at once.
The many member with Nvidia powered laptops - coupled with the fact that Plasma and Gnome defaults to Wayland - are the main reason why a testing snap to stable has been delayed.
A tremendous amout of work is being put into making the transitions as smooth as possible.
No one on the team expects it to be a walk in the park but a lot of work is done to remove the most obvious obstacles.
