--- Comment #2 from t_d_...@gmx.de --- As far as I understand, I have the same problem. We use a customized Kubuntu and are developing on the bionic development release. Our login-scripts are running in an openbox session that is started before startkde. There I set a background image using feh. When startkde and ksplashqml run, the background image from feh pops up during the splash animation or after it. I test this in a vm using kubuntu 17.10 as a host an virt-manager. On real hardware the problem was less severe - only a short flickering during the splash screen animation was visible. How I reproduced this in a vm with neon-devedition-gitunstable-20170917-0806-amd64.iso: 1.) Change the color of the Rectangle with id root to "green" in /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/splash/Splash.qml . 2.) Log off and Log in, look at the splash screen animation. -> The splash animation has now green background, but a completely black screen appears inbetween the animation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
