Bug ID: 404294
Summary: POTD does not change daily as expected
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: 5.14.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Picture of the Day
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jat...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
POTD technically does change every day, but not in the way that I (and maybe
others) would expect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set one of the monitors' background to Bing POTD
2. Wait until the next day
3. Sadly look at the same picture as yesterday, while your custom text display
plasmoid shows you the description of what you should be looking at :(
OBSERVED RESULT
POTD may be stale (noticed particularly with the Bing POTD), requiring a
`killall plasmashell && plasmashell` to get it to update
EXPECTED RESULT
POTD is new every morning when I come into the office and logon to my computer
(I would expect that it changes at 12AM local time, or whenever the POTD
provider has updated their picture)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
Qt Version: 5.12.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Kernel Version: 4.20.7-arch1-1-ARCH
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz
Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If there were a way to force an update via dbus command or something, that
would be an acceptable workaround, too
Note, I don't know very much about KDE programming, but I'd be happy to help
where possible. In my estimation, the checkDayChanged() method
(https://cgit.kde.org/kdeplasma-addons.git/tree/dataengines/potd/potd.cpp#n178)
will have to be modified to get this working as expected.
