[plasmashell] [Bug 468873] plasmashell always crashes on start with X11OutputOrderWatcher::refresh() when xrandr isn't available
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468873 --- Comment #6 from Maciej Poleski --- I don't think I could install xorg-server in such a way that RandR is absent. But RandR conflicts with Xinerama, AFAIU, by definition. $ xrandr RandR extension missing My Xorg.0.log has the following entries: [ 315.220] (WW) NVIDIA: Xinerama is enabled, so RandR has likely been disabled by the [ 315.220] (WW) NVIDIA: X server. I can disable (not-enable) Xinerama. Then RandR is present. But KDE doesn't seem to honor RandR setup: https://askubuntu.com/questions/894101/how-to-make-kde-use-a-screen-from-xrandr-1-5 I tried it a few months ago. While i3 honored the setting (https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2017-12-11-dell-up3218k/#linux-compatibility--configuration), KDE ignored it. Xinerama seemed to be the only way to go. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

But you need the randr tools installed; they can co-exist with xinerama I believe; does the issue go away when you install them? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468873 --- Comment #3 from Maciej Poleski --- I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around this: https://planet.kde.org/vlad-zahorodnii-2022-07-23-xinerama-becomes-hard-requirement-of-kwin/. Was Xinerama support dropped in 5.27? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468873 --- Comment #1 from Maciej Poleski --- After peeking at the source code (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/822c8d9444fb29eb96f40fbe8ee337fb907c00e9/shell/outputorderwatcher.cpp#L183), my hunch is that the issue is related to unavailability of RandR on my system (because I'm forced to use xinerama). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
