[Bug 1004954] New: Update from Leap 42.1 to 42.2 beta3 Plasma fails to conserve settings and has several functional problems.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1004954 Bug ID: 1004954 Summary: Update from Leap 42.1 to 42.2 beta3 Plasma fails to conserve settings and has several functional problems. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: stakanov@freenet.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- After updating the O.S. when starting Plasma you can observe following behaviour: a) desktop background if set if lost. It appears that the picture files are there, however cannot be seen by the system. If you download them again and install them you are prompted if you want to overwrite the file, it therefore exists. You confirm but the picture file remains invisible and cannot be selected. You do not confirm the same happens. Thus the photos that where used beforehand are lost as background and cannot be reinstalled afterwards. This "survives" as problem also if you logout the session and login again. b) icons form third party are shown in the list but partially not used. If you set the icon settings to breeze, it will say yes, but eventually will not honour the settings (in particular if you have the folder view with desktop and trash from 42.1 on the desktop left. c) The Meteo plasmoid of 42.1 is taken over but presents a malformed display with the temperature displayed outside and far from the plasmoid itself. Mouse cursor no problem. Good. Akonadi started O.K. and application seem to work. Good. Screen resolution: the resolution (during update on virtual machine kvm) was NOT taken over from previous install which cause the task bar (set to hide automatic) to fail. This is not dramatic as you can call the system settings via the run dialogue and you can set successfully a suitable resolution (and the bar turns) but this can be a challenge to "I just am a user" users or to first timers that installed the previous O.S. first and think to migrate in about a few weeks after release. So this would be good to be looked after. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

After updating the O.S. when starting Plasma you can observe following behaviour: a) desktop background if set if lost.
May be related to bug#1003399, should be fixed in Plasma 5.8.1 which should be part of RC1.
b) icons form third party are shown in the list but partially not used.
Running applications do not see changes in the icon theme, that's a known problem. See bug#1000519 and the upstream bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=365363. Deleting the icon cache (~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache) to be sure that there are no "wrong" icons in it and logging out/in should help.
c) The Meteo plasmoid of 42.1 is taken over but presents a malformed display with the temperature displayed outside and far from the plasmoid itself.
What is this Meteo plasmoid? The standard weather applet? I think something in this regard has been fixed upstream as well recently. Need to check though.
Screen resolution: the resolution (during update on virtual machine kvm) was NOT taken over from previous install which cause the task bar (set to hide automatic) to fail.
You mean settings from Plasma5 or KDE4? The latter are not migrated, yes. Not a new problem, and rather an upstream design decision. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Please report different problems separately. Sorry, I was in doubt and will do so accordingly in the future.

I will try. In fact it helps also to choose a completely different icon set and apply it than to return after a logout cycle.

Shame on me, my desktop (and part of my chicken-brain) are working in Italian. Yes it is the weather applet. The link provided is giving you a screen shot of what it looks like. It is minor but I thought to tell because it came up after an update from 42.1.
Screen resolution: the resolution (during update on virtual machine kvm) was NOT taken over from previous install which cause the task bar (set to hide automatic) to fail.

Uhhh. I do not know. I was running 42.1 to be updated. Although I was using KDE PIM version 4 I do not thing I was running KDE4. AFAIK 42.1 is running plasma 5. Thus the bug I report here is: the resolution settings were not taken over from the standard desktop (plasma5?) of 42.1. Bear in mind however that this is a KVM (I am not at my desk right now) so I do not trust virtualized machines to behave as real ones when it comes to graphics. Still I reported to keep trace. When I will be back I will be able to perform these steps on real nvidia hardware, I will report back then (as long as you do not tell me that the default desktop of 42.1 is kde4, I doubt it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

No problem, but please do so in the future. It's really hard to handle problems this way.

Thanks for that.

Yes, the main problem here was/is that plasmoids can "leak out" I suppose. I can't find any fix for that right now (though I am remembering it), but let's see.

The default (and only KDE related) desktop in 42.1 is Plasma5. So that's not the problem then. There have been fixes to Plasma5's (kscreen's) handling of outputs though, maybe they have caused this. In other words, it may have been caused by a bug in previous versions that has been fixed now. Not sure if that could (or should) be fixed then... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
