Description MartinTweddlexboxlive 2012-11-30 19:15:02 UTC
Problem description: 
When using the e17 desktop environment with two screens, set up as an extended desktop using arandr, the slideshow will not start on the the screen specified in the settings

It will instead display in whichever screen the mouse is in when f5 is pressed or 'start slideshow' is clicked.

The presenter console displays both windows on the same screen regardless with the presenter console on the top.

This initially happened in bodhi linux but a test with e17 on lubuntu produced the same result. Lubuntu with normal desktop works properly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install e17 desktop and configure for dual monitors
2. make a slideshow and set presentation display to any of the options
3. start the slideshow and the problem described should occur

Current behavior:
The slideshow will not start on the the screen specified in the settings

It will instead display in whichever screen the mouse is in when f5 is pressed or 'start slideshow' is clicked.

Expected behavior:
Display on selected screen

Additional Information:
OpenLP a church presenter program works properly with e17 interface.
              
Operating System: Ubuntu

arandr or xrandr? I've never used arandr before.

I have E17, adding myself as CC so I remember to test when I have access to my second monitor tonight
Comment 2 Joel Madero 2013-05-20 16:03:28 UTC
also where do I do this: set presentation display to any of the options?

@reporter: please answer questions asked in comment 1 and comment 2.

Setting myself as QA Contact as I intend on looking into this one further soon - found a dupe of it so I'll play around and see if I can get same results in Enlightenment
Comment 6 hermes.trismegistos 2013-10-19 10:30:16 UTC
I am experiencing the same bug. 

I use xrandr to span my Desktop to the second display. This is the command I use:

xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1 --auto --output LVDS1 --primary --auto

LVDS1 is my laptop’s native display, VAG1 is the display attached to its VGA port.

I don’t have anything screen related in my xorg.conf.d/* files, only one file concerning pointing devices (so the rest of the xorg config are the defaults)

Here some system information

Gentoo Linux x86_64
libreoffice-4.0.4.2
xrandr-1.4.1
xorg-server-1.14.3
enlightenment-0.17.3
linux-3.11.0

I don’t think that the hardware matters, because I had this problem with my older laptop with nvidia graphic card, too. But at the moment it is a hybrid graphics card:

Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:166] (Intel Core i7-3632QM)
Radeon HD 7730M

Currently I do not use the radeon card, only the intel chip with the kernels i915 driver.

I reported the problem in the LibreOffice forum:

http://libreofficeforum.org/node/6867#comment-28164

And I found an earlier report in the Bodhi Linux forum:

http://forums.bodhilinux.com/index.php?/topic/6457-solved-largely-libreoffice-impress-wont-run-slideshow-when-second-monitor-is-turned-on/

Do you need more information?

I can confirm this with i3/awesome and libreoffice-4.2.3.3 and I can furthermore confirm Martins observation: the presentation is always drawn on the same screen in a separate window behind the controls window.

As a workaround: at least with i3 it is possible to exit fullscreen-mode without libreoffice noticing and then move the presentation window to a different screen manually.
Comment 9 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2014-05-20 09:57:26 UTC
Setting to confirmed then.

Window managers are a pain sadly, at least historically they all behaved subtly different. So there's code in LibreOffice trying to abstract that away:

 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/unx/generic/app/wmadaptor.cxx

Would be cool if someone running one of the problematic window
managers could debug this, and figure out which adapter LibreOffice
picks. Also worth trying, is setting env var OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP to

 tde
 kde4
 gnome
 unity
 xfce
 mate
 kde
 none

in turn.

Did not help unfortunately. I did:

  for d in tde kde4 gnome unity xfce mate kde none ; do OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=$d loimpress ; done

after rebuilding libreoffice with kde and gnome support I repeated those tests:

With tde or kde4 I get now 3 separate windows when launching the presentation:
* the original impress window
* the presentation
* the console

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.3 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

Please DO NOT

   Update the version field
   Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results;
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword

Following last Tiziano's comment + the fact there's now LO 5.0.5 (and even brand new 5.1.0), any update?
Comment 14 Peri Noid 2016-04-11 09:53:22 UTC
I'd like to add my $0.02 to the report. I'm struggling with the similar problem, which is that, no matter where I tell Libreoffice to show the slides, it always uses the same screen, on which the main window is shown. Furthermore, if I enable slideshow console, it occupies also exactly the same screen, which makes it unusable. It happends on my laptop with Intel HD Graphics 5500, currently running xserver 1.17.4 with Intel driver ver. 2.99.917. I'm using KDE 4.x envionment (kdebase 4.11.22) and LibreOffice 5.1.2.1. My displays are configured with xrandr:

Now, maybe important: I have also a workstation, which runs almost eactly the same software setup, but differs in hardware - it has an NVidia G86 Quadro NVS 290 graphics card and uses NVidia proprietary drivers. This machine has no problems with proper slideshow:
