My guess is that this has something to do with kde-plasma-desktop, but
you're going to need to provide more information about which window
manager you're using, what version it is, and what you've most recently
installed.



Ok, thank you. I am using kwin window manager and light dm for my 
display manager. Here is my system data:

I haven't installed any new software recently, except for reportbug, and 
that was after this problem came up. The only thing I have installed are 
the daily updates with sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade.


Here is my sources file:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free

# bullseye-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
# see

deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free

# enable the following in order to install the protonmail bridge, but 
then comment it out again

Note that to install bookworm, I first installed bullseye and then 
changed the source names.

Bug#1030632: bugs.debian.org: cannot select picture from a local directory to use as desktop background in kde plasma

2023-02-05 Thread George Olson

Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am using Debian testing (bookworm). I have a 4 monitor setup and my 
graphics

card is this:
0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
[AMD/ATI] Navi

23 [Radeon RX 6600/6600 XT/6600M] (rev c7)

I have been running Debian testing for about 6 months and this is the first
time that an update has caused something significant to stop working.

When I ran an update last week and rebooted, all of a sudden the 
pictures that

I use for my desktop slideshow would not come up as a desktop background.
Instead all I get is black screen. The default menu bar panel works and my
system is functional, but there is no desktop background. If I select 
slideshow

or image and try to set an image from a local directory, it will not set a
desktop background. I only get a blank screen. If I select a picture of 
the day
so that it grabs an image from the internet, like Astronomy Picture of 
the Day,

it sets the image. But it will not set the image from a local directory.

In addition, the digital clock widget on the menu bar no longer works. If I
click on the spot where the digital clock used to appear, I get this error:
"file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/main.qml:80:34:
Type CalendarView unavailable

file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/CalendarView.qml:604:13:
Cannot assign to non-existent property "eventButton""

I don't know if these 2 items are related, but the failures happened at 
the same time. I posted the problem in the Debian

user forms at this url: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=153902

I was told this had to do with libkscreen.
