KDE swaps Screen-1 and Screen-2 at boot

This is a strange one. I’m running Tumbleweed KDE 6.1 with Wayland. I have Yakuake configured to Open on Screen-1, which is my laptop monitor. When I reboot it appears on the external monitor. So I switch Yakuake to Screen-2, which puts it back on my laptop’s screen. Of course, next time I reboot Yakuake comes back to the external monitor and I have to change it back to Screen-1. And so it continues… Basically, every time I reboot Yakuake appears on the External monitor no matter what I set it to!
Something is swapping Screen-1 and Screen-2 at every reboot. The monitors’ names do not change, ie: eDP-1 is always the laptop and VGA-1 is always the external:

mike@HP-Tumbleweed-KDE ~ $ xrandr --listactivemonitors
Monitors: 2
 0: +*eDP-1 1366/344x768/194+1366+0  eDP-1
 1: +VGA-1 1366/410x768/230+0+0  VGA-1

Can someone please explain to me what is going on?
Thank you!

Did you check if it is on reboot or on re-login?

3

On re-boot.

4

Sorry, but do you mean: I checked and it is not on re-login, but only on re-boot?

5

I rarely… if ever… re-login, so I haven’t checked that. I usually either reboot or shutdown.

Then please check that as suggested. It is rather important to know if it “goes wrong” on re-boot (thus a desktop problem), or only after re-boot (deeper then a desktop problem).

Ok I found the problem: it’s Flatpak. I was playing around with Flatpak a week or two ago and wasn’t especially thrilled with it. I have since removed the packages that I installed using it in favour of using zypper install (with one exception that isn’t available in the openSUSE repos). But I missed Yakuake. After removing the Flatpak version and reinstalling the program using zypper it works as expected,
Thanks so much for your help!

You are welcome.

Nice you found it.
