Bug ID: 469192
Summary: Plasmashell frequently starts up with no background
image, no desktop icons
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Startup process
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sergio.calleg...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
On a system with the following setup
- Intel haswell laptop with integrated graphics
- Using X11
- External monitor attached and set as primary monitor
- Built in screen set as not enabled
I frequently have the following issue. When a user logs in at the sddm screen,
plasma starts. However, it fails to set the background image (I get a black
background) and to load the desktop icons. The bottom panel is displayed,
though.
As a workaround I can press ALT-F2 get the runner, type `plasmashell --replace`
and with this plasma always restarts correctly.
The issue is frequently seen (much more frequently, I would say) when switching
to a second user.
I have been seeing this issue since Manjaro switched to plasma 5.27 or possibly
even earlier.
This issue is just a minor nuisance to expert users who know how to restart
plasma, but a total showstopper for users without this knowledge.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. log in at sddm
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma frequently starts failing to load the desktop barground and the desktop
icons
EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma should start correctly.
