Bug ID: 447388
Summary: Wallpaper reset erratically after upgrade to Plasma
5.23
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.4
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: mz...@o2.pl
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Ever since upgrading to Plasma 5.23, one of three things will happen on a power
cycle:
a) I am greeted with a black background instead of the wallpaper
b) the wallpaper is reset to the default one
(/usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/1920x1080.png)
c) more rarely the wallpaper is reset to one of the included I'd used previous
(e.g. /usr/share/wallpapers/summer_1am/contents/images/2560x1600.jpg)
The interesting thing is that the proper wallpaper will restore itself, if I
wait about 20-30 seconds.
I've tried deleting my plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and
kactivitymanagerdrc, to no avail.
My setup is a 1080p monitor connected via DVI and a 4k TV connected via HDMI. I
have the latter set to 1080p and mirroring the primary 1080p screen.
This seems similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443832. However, I'm
on nvidia-drivers. And that bug was filed against Plasma 5.22, whereas my issue
only started with 5.23 and downgrading to 5.22 indeed makes the issue go away.
One more pertinent piece of information: when I unplug the tv, the bug seems to
go away. Hence why I've filed this against multi-screen support.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set custom wallpaper
2. Reboot
OBSERVED RESULT
The wallpaper is replaced by a blank background or the default wallpaper, then
fixes itself after some seconds have passed
EXPECTED RESULT
The proper wallpaper is visible from the start
