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
