Screenshot of desktop on startup with latte autostart
SUMMARY
The latest version, v0.10.0, is not functioning properly when started via
KDE/Plasma Autostart. On login, the bottom half of the screen is blacked out
and blocks any desktop functionality from mid-screen down. If you open a
terminal and kill the latte-dock process, all desktop functionality returns.
You can then start latte-dock from the system menu, and it starts and functions
as expected. I have tried clearing the qmlcache, rebuilding the package in my
build environment, building the master version from github, autostarting from
xdg and attempted to start it from session restore. None of these approaches
fix the problem. It does not appear that the latte-dock process has crashed,
it's simply interfering with the normal desktop startup. I have checked the
logs for any sign of crashes - none exist.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install v0.10.0 of latte-dock
2. Install latte autostart
3. Reboot system
4. Log in to Plasma desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
The bottom half of the screen is either non-functional or blacked out.
Latte-dock is inaccessible. Parts of graphical apps running below the halfway
mark are also inaccessible.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should have full desktop functionality and see the dock at the bottom of the
screen.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux: 5.13.9
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.84.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After the desktop is started up, if you kill the latte process, full desktop
functionality is returned. If latte is then restarted via the system menu, it
starts as expected. This issue reminds me of a plasma bug that was fixed
several months ago, where plasma components/widgets were being created too
early - before the corona was fully instantiated (that bug produced a black
screen with latte dock running at the bottom).
