Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing an issue with wallpaper settings on a dual-monitor setup and would appreciate some help or insights.
Setup:
-
Laptop with built-in display (eDP-1) and an external monitor (DP-3).
-
I use the System Settings → Wallpaper to assign different wallpapers to each screen:
-
Laptop screen: a static image.
-
External monitor: a slideshow (changing images).
-
-
At first, everything works correctly – each screen shows its designated wallpaper.
Problem:
When I disconnect the external monitor, the laptop screen’s wallpaper changes to the slideshow that was set for the external display. After I reconnect the external monitor, both screens return to their original settings.
Expected behavior:
I would like the laptop screen to keep its static wallpaper even when the external monitor is not connected, and to revert to the dual-screen layout automatically when the monitor is plugged back in.
Questions:
-
Is this a known bug?
-
Is there any way (e.g., a configuration file, a script, or a hidden setting) to force the laptop screen to remember its own wallpaper regardless of the external monitor’s presence?
