Dear Maintainer, I retested this inside a minimal Bookworm/testing VM now because the last plasma package updates seem to have settled a bit. Unfortunately the black background and the 30 seconds splash are still visible.
At least in this bug report at least the black default wallpaper gets described: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026070#17 After an affected new user configures a wallpaper the previously reported message from main.qml is gone, but the 30 second splash is also still there. To make the 30 second splash issue better visible I created this upstream merge request: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2450/diffs This one applied to the Debian package showed that the last step "desktop" is missing. See this for all needed steps: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/ksplash/ksplashqml/splashapp.cpp#L36 Kind regards, Bernhard
