Hi all,
I have a full AMD machine with 2 monitors:
- a 4k primary monitor on a display port
- a full HD tv set secondary monitor on an HDMI port
- the secondary monitor is placed at the right of the primary monitor
I use Manjaro, Plasma, plasma-login-manager, wayland.
I start with all the application windows on the primary monitor; then I logout or reboot (it is the same)
When I login, the application windows open on the secondary monitor
What can I do to force the applications to start on the primary monitor?
TL;DR
The secondary monitor is plugged into the HDMI port that is the first port on the graphic card.
I tried every combination of desktop session restore without success
- save at the session close: logout / login / reboot - everytime all the windows on the secondary monitor
- save manually the session: logout / login the windows remain on the primary monitor - reboot all the windows go on the secondary monitor
My configuration
