Widget on desktop move after boot KUBUNTU

Hello everyone, after every boot some objects on my desktop move.
I’ve two desktop, one of this 1360x768 17" and the other 1920x1080 24". How can I resolve this? Every time I turn on my pc I have to move on my desired position the widgets, I find them on the center of the smallest desktop.

Furthermore, login screen is the same on both monitor, but when I typing my pass I see that on the second scree (the smallest). How can I change this? I want to see typing on the primary monitor

  • click on the desktop and type “about”

  • go to the settings page from the search results

  • copy the info and paste it here

my experience with plasma 5.25 was that plasmoids would shift on restart, but upgrading to 5.27 fixed it.

as for you login screen, generally the screen with focus is the one that takes the inputs from the keyboard, so try moving your cursor to the screen you want to activate and then type.

when i changed graphics cards, my default screen moved to the 2nd monitor (in portrait) so my BIOS splash screen was on the wrong monitor and sideways at reboot, but i found that switching the cables around to different display ports was the easiest solution.

Thanks you, below the information

Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 6.2.0-37-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHz
Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600

you would benefit from enabling kubuntu backports and backports-extra

then it would look like this

Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports-extra/ubuntu jammy main

brace yourself, as there will be nearly 300 updates waiting for you after you do this.

It worked! Thanks you a lot

ok i see you are in the other thread on KDE not starting.

but i don’t recognize the repositories, so this could be a regional thing… im in the US.
