[gentoo-user] Problem with virtual desktops in Plasma
Hello. I have problem with number of virtual desktops in Plasma. In my configuration file .config/kwinrc are declared 7 desktops with names. But when I try to look at GUI system settings of virtual desktops, there is only 1. When I change it to another number, confirm, click on another settings panel (for example bordes) and then return to settings of virtual desktops, there is again only 1 desktop. But when I change beetwen virtual desktops by using keys (CTRL+Fx), it works like it is in kwinrc file. I see number and name of desktop in center of screen for a while. Virtual desktop applet is showing only 1 desktop. Where can be problem? -- Martin "Megac" Mokry

That's caught me out before - I've also set up 6 virtual desktops and then it only appears that I have one because I have them as 1 row x 1 column. It's a bit of a ux fail. -- Martin "Megac" Mokry

Using the desktops widget from the task bar, I see two settings: - Number of desktops - Number of rows I currently have both set to 3 and that's working for me (I recently started only using 3 virtual desktops at home) Try that? (or something similar)

(or something similar) I dont have settings of number of rows and desktops in my widget. Only settings of what is showing (number of desktop, name, nothing) and what to do when I click on current desktop. When I right-click on widget there is also "Add new desktop" which open system settings where I see only number 1. But when I go with mouse over the widget it shows names of windows that are running on any desktops, not only the first.

Whilst I do have a few things ~amd64, most of plasma (barring one other widget - redshift) is amd64. System Information reports plasma version 5.14.5

I tried to create new user, and the problem remained. So it is not problem in my user configuration.

Thanks for reporting back here - I've been scratching my head about this for a while. Of course, I'm not using Wayland.
