Need to select a display when first run of app

[Johnthan]

Windows 10 32 bit
Revision 2880 of trunk
run command: Python run_openlp.py

The display is not initialized until you go into settings and select the display then reboot.
There is an error that comes up that says something to the affect that the Live Display is disabled because there is no display. Once you go into settings and choose the display and reboot the error is no longer displayed on startup.

If you are on a single display PC the logo screen appears and you will have to close the program by keystrokes as you can not get back to the app.

OpenLP version 2889 update
Doing a clean install (all data and settings removed) allows the First Time Wizard to run and IF you select a display, the errors are removed....but the live display does NOT work on a PC with only one screen. You have to go into settings and check the 'Generic Screen Setting' on the bottom of the Display settings window. You still have to save your changes and restart the application.
In addition, the live display toggle does not work until you send something to the Live display....on a single display PC this is difficult when the live display is full screen.

Live display was removed as the default due to major issues on machines with one display.

The first time wizard only sets part of what is needed. If you don't go
into settings and select the other setting you don't get an output. We
need to set it or document it.... frustrating to think the wizard set it up
and then have no output.

This issue has been verified to happen on a clean install of trunk 2892

The way around it is to click on the screen in the FTW but do not check the box to use the display. You will get some errors as the FTW completes...ignore them! Once Openlp finishes loading, move the OpenLP window to the right of the screen...then go into settings and ensure the 'use this display' check box is checked and select the 'custom geometry' button. Set the width and height to a percentage of the full screen size...for me that is 1024 and 768. Now check the 'Display if single screen' box.
Exit setting and restart OpenLP. When the logo screen covers most of the screen, select a theme then select the live display in the Service. Press the 'd' key and the logo screen will close.
At this point you can use OpenLP...to see the 'live' display just press the 'd' key or use the Blank ICON under the Live Preview.
