Bug ID: 371455 Summary: Slide show wallpaper massively slows down login Product: plasmashell Version: 5.8.2 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Image Wallpaper Assignee: notm...@gmail.com Reporter: k...@zottel.net CC: plasma-b...@kde.org I have a quite slow NAS with several thousand images on it which I use as a source for a slide show wallpaper (5 mins between one image and the next). When I log in to my account, I get the KDE logo and the spinner, which freezes after some time. After waiting for several minutes, the launch bar shows up and I can start using my account. There is still no background image (black screen). Not sure right now if an image would show up after some time by itself; it does if I right-click on the background, select "next background image" (translated back from German), and wait another few minutes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a slow source with many thousand images in hundreds of directories as wallpaper slide show. 2. Log in. Actual Results: Login takes an eternity. Expected Results: Launch bar and desktop without wallpaper image shows up right away. I can start working. Once the directory scan has completed, and the first image has been loaded, wallpaper images start to show. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
