The situation is unchanged. But here are some more details: To get reproducible results I did a clean install on my machine, so I used the Kubuntu 8.04.1 desktop CD and I did an upgrade of all packages with the default repositories. Then I tested login and the error windows were there.
Next I enabled the hardy-backports repository and upgraded to KDE 3.5.10. The problem was still there. The caption of the error windows reads "Fehler - KDesktop" which translates to "Error - KDesktop". The problem seems to be related to the wallpaper size (pixel not kB) and downscaling of the wallpaper to the screen size (together with the low speed of the machine). The default wallpaper has an original size 1920x1440 while my screen size is 1600x1200. If I select another wallpaper the problem is gone. The other wallpapers coming with Kubuntu have a size of 1600x1200 or smaller. Now if I take one of my own pictures and scale it to 1600x1200 there is also no problem even if the original file is about 1.3MB. However if I scale the picture to 1604x1203 the problem is back independent from the file size. -- Kubuntu Hardy - 2 Error windows after login and no icons on desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
