Bug ID: 522822
Summary: Login Wallpaper Won't Apply
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version First 6.7.2
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_plasmalogin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
When attempting to change the login screen wallpaper through the KDE System
Settings app, even after clicking apply in the bottom right and entering my
password, when changing to a new page in the settings app or closing the
window, a popup will appear saying "The current page has unsaved changes. Apply
the changes or discard them?". If I click apply in the popup it will prompt me
for my password again and after entering my password again it still does not
apply the wallpaper. When asking for help in the CachyOS discord server a user
asked me to run a command to view the contents of the plasmalogin.conf file in
/etc and I noted that the config file DOES create a path to where the image
SHOULD be, but the selected image doesn't get moved there so it's pointing at a
non-existent path!
❯ cat /etc/plasmalogin.conf
[Autologin]
Session=plasma
[Greeter][Wallpaper][org.kde.image][General]
Image=file:///var/lib/plasmalogin/wallpapers/cachygalaxy99.jpg
~
❯
The cachygalaxy99.jpg file I tried to apply isn't in that folder.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a login screen wallpaper in KDE Plasma System Settings
2. Apply and enter password, twice if prompted.
3. Log out and view (lock screen works fine, login screen is the issue.)
OBSERVED RESULT
After applying wallpaper in settings, wallpaper on login screen stays default.
EXPECTED RESULT
Login screen should change to selected wallpaper.
