~emersion/kanshi#71: Configuration for profile '%s' cancelled, retrying

I wanted kanshi to disable internal display once external connects.

Steps to reproduce:

connect external monitor and start kanshi with debug (all looks good and works)
disconnect the monitor (again all ok)
connect the monitor back and observe the following: both output are active, sometimes the cursor is duplicate on both outputs, all workspaces move to the external monitor

Expected behavior:

every time external monitor is connected internal should disable without restarting kanshi

I too experience exactly the same issues with my laptop and an external display. Running sway git and wlroots git along with kanshi.

~justinesmithies how did you produce that debug log? I encounter the same error and would like to compare my debug log. Thanks.

In my case the error happens like this:

I have the second monitor connected to the USB-C (through a multiport hub)

The laptop and monito go to sleep after a while.

When I wake the laptop the monitor does /not/ wake up

kanshi loops with that error message

If I connect the same monitor directly to the HDMI port of the laptop, everything works as expected

I can't extract any other significant debug from journalctl or dmesg.

Workaround: reload sway config
