I think I should ignore the cheap-shot.
It is deciding on its own to make the external primary.

lol,

how about instead of writing here in the forum you create a monitor.conf (two would be better) that enforces the functionality you want?
"Wer alles kann, macht nichts richtig"

Thank you, I will consider this. I will spend less time on the forum looking for solutions. Thank you, you are saving me hundreds of hours.

Seriously, why do people need to put someone else down before they try to help? Have I said something to offend someone?

As the internal display is not enabled when booting with the hdmi display attached, try to force enable it by adding kernel parameter:

Code: [Select]
video=LVDS:e

The ':e' part means 'enabled'.

If you spent more time on the forum you'd know that lq often provides good advice but phrases replies in a minimal manner, don't worry about it.
And journalctl is the systemd equivalent to looking in /var/log/syslog, except they record the logs in binary not text format so you can't simply read the log and have to use journalctl to convert it to text, after spending half the day reading the lengthy journalctl related manpages to get the correct options.  :D

thank you for your less terse reply.

What would be the Artix equivalent to journalctl -s?
Would it be funny to implement an
Code: [Select]
artix journalctl <switch>
that implements the journalctl functionality for our non binary logs with a configurable log reader? So users can use the journalctl commands?

Use systemd, and please stop asking systemd questions offtopic in threads asking for help.
