Bug ID: 426260
Summary: Plasma boots a black desktop
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux

The black desktop with no icons
SUMMARY
When the display settings are set to only use the external display, rebooting
(this does not happen every boot, but it is frequent ~every 4 or 5 reboots)
boots to a black desktop (no background, no icons, right click does nothing),
however, the taskbar and the launcher are visible (a.k.a. the default panel I
guess?). Using Meta+P to change the display output to the laptop monitor and
does show the full desktop, and then switching back to only the external
monitor does fix the problem. I am using nouveau (I had installed nvidia
previously and then unistalled it, and 'unblacklisted' nouveau from modprobe.d
files).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the display output to only use the external monitor using System
Settings (I am using Xorg)
2. Reboot
3. Login (I am using autologin, as setup by Yast while installing OpenSUSE)
Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.12.7
Kernel Version: 5.3.18-lp152.36-default
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems to me that Plasma tries to load the desktop on the disabled display
(internal monitor), so that's why, when I change the output display, it shows
up, and changing back, shows the desktop as well (black desktop gone, icons are
back).
