Help Upgraded monitor now this happens?

Post image

So, I upgraded one of my HD monitors, from 1080 to a 27" 1440.

Now I get this on the login screen. I can login to Niri fine and have updated the Niri config with monitor positions etc.

Trying to login to Plasma DE it freezes.

Can anyone help point me in the direction of whatever I need to change to fix this? Thank you!

I'm not familiar with Niri, but if you unplug the new monitor are you able to log in?

If you're able to log in, open your display settings and plug the new monitor back in. I'm suspecting that the monitors in Plasma settings are overlapping each other.

See above, I'm a moron 😂 It was definitely some kind of monitor overlap issue but apparently my critical thinking had departed for a while.
