Hello
I have 2 monitors connected. They had work until a few days. Now I don’t the option to expand them.
The only way to expanded image is run this command on the terminal: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --right-of DP-1
Thanks

The monitor on DP is listed as disabled. Did you check in Plasma systemsettings->Display&Monitor, that the second display is properly enabled?
Here are the options.
I think they are all OK…
Even the Edit Arrangement doesn’t allow me to do nothing…
The screens seems stacked on top of each other. You need to “Edit arrangement”->click with left mouse button on the screen symbol and hold button->move it
A mystery… I went back again, and now both monitors show up.
I didn’t change anything…
Oh well, one less case to deal with ahahhahah
Thanks guys
