(however last week I did pull an ethernet card to use elsewhere, which could have influenced something) My motherboard apparently uses an RTL8111H, according to the manual. I have tried to uninstall the r8168 driver and then it doesn’t work anymore. Then simply replace the names in the first xrandr command above. If you wonder how you can adapt it for your displays, first you need to get the names of the monitors with this command (the names are on the last column): $ xrandr -listmonitors You can bind the above command to a keyboard shortcut or create an alias for it. That being said, you can use xrandr on any DE to force the sequence the displays are arranged in with a command like this: xrandr -output eDP-1 -mode 1920x1080 -output DP-1 -auto -primary -right-of eDP-1 -output DP-2 -auto -right-of DP-1 With a bit of customization you can make XFCE look great: The monitors remember their settings when i reconnect them after a disconnect. It works great even if one of the monitors is connected via USB-c hub. I’m running XFCE with two monitors connected to the laptop. I’ve read XFCE does a better job with multiple monitor setups, which I haven’t properly tried yet. I also do like plasma, but I can’t keep using it if I can’t fix the issue with multiple monitors. As an alternative which other DE can I try, which supposedly work better with multiple monitors?ĭon’t misunderstand me, my overall experience is positive otherwise I haven’t been using it for a couple of weeks already.Do you have an idea how and if the plasma issue can be fixed?.This is also a easy moment to click to boxes of the other DE’s and start without al the things I installed to try out and don’t need. So I will probably, just reinstall the new iso when it releases, because nothing gets lost by doing so atm. I did make it usable for now, by disabling the monitors to go to sleep and disconnection the cable to the TV, but it is not what I want.Īnyways, I’m going to moving everything to another ssd. I’m not the only one having a weird story, I’ve read multiple similar things even going back 2 years. If i than which to another monitor being primary, it just shuffles whatever is on it around and doing it enough times somehow gets it on the right screen again. Interesting is when this happens the monitors are still 0, 1, 2, which 1 is still primary. If it comes back from a sleeping display or if I turn on another display (3) (in this case a 4k TV where I play my media on) it decides to move taskbar to another display (also which one is different every time) or sometimes completely disappears and it changes the wallpaper and lockscreen, sometimes. If I set display 1 as primary, which contains a couple of files and the taskbar. After it goes to sleep or an extra monitor is connected, it fucks up my configuration, which I haven’t been able to figure out. The real issue, the multiple monitors is becoming a real problem.Which is weird because the speaker also has a microphone, on which I can switch the profiles, aka it has same functionality as the headphones. Only not yet for my XM3 headphones, for some reason. But after switching to pipewire it did work, almost imminently. Bluetooth audio, the audio quality sucked, I could no get it working in A2DP with pulseaudio.Rebinding the keys, for now xmodmap will do the trick.Now my weird things, I always use rebinded keys, all bluetooth audio and a multiple monitor setup. And most importantly I can often find the setting I want without using google, eg in gnome I cant find anything. I also like the default application launcher a lot, it shows what the applications do, which is very useful for now because all the applications have different names. The desktop measurement of choice is KDE Plasma, I just set the theme to Dracula and configure the taskbar. eg disable updates for the r8168 driver, for now it works, but when it updates the network doesn’t work. I eventually decided on Endeavour, I did run into updates which broke things, but figuring out how to fix it was quick. I haven’t posted on the forum before, so it did become a bit of a story.Ī couple of week ago, I decided to really switch away from windows I need to use it as an daily OS and have windows when i need certain software.
