Bug ID: 423421 Summary: Plasmashell occasionally 'forgets' to load widgets and wallpaper Product: plasmashell Version: 5.18.5 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Desktop Containment Assignee: notm...@gmail.com Reporter: xapi...@gmx.net CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 129625 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=129625&action=edit both states side by side SUMMARY Plasmashell occasionally forgets to load widgets (folderview and application launchers) and displays the default desktop wallpaper. opposed to what can be found in the configuration file "plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" this should be reproducable with the following image (basically kubuntu 20.04 with extra applications) https://life-edu.eu/public/life-2004-0.iso (https://life-edu.eu/download.html) no need to copy this on a flashdrive - it's also reproducable in virtualbox STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. new virtual machine (ubuntu 64, no disk) - add iso as live cd (i made 3 vms in order to test faster) 2. start virtual machine 3. observe OBSERVED RESULT PARTS of the "plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc" are ignored (they stay in the configfile but they are ignored) desktop starts with default desktop wallpaper - without widgets in the containment plasma panel has the correct configuration as defined in the config and widgets in the plasma panel also work as expected EXPECTED RESULT load configured desktop with all widgets and launchers SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION it is absolutely not reproducable.. first it happend when booting macs with the live usb flashdrive without acpi it made no sense then i tried in virtualbox and played with the settings.. nothing came up.. it happens absolutely RANDOM i have 3 identical virtual machines.. if i start them one after the other.. at least one of them will display only half of the configuration correctly i already deleted the configuration files und started from scratch with a fresh config.. same thing happend so it shouldn't be a bug in the config -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
