Bug ID: 424737
Summary: Lock screen resets wallpaper to default when wallpaper
type is changed
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: darrenvenab...@posteo.net
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the lock screen's type of wallpaper is changed (e.g. from Image to
Slideshow), the wallpaper resets to the default wallpaper.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings → Workspace Behavior → Screen Locking → Appearance tab
2. Set the wallpaper type to "Image"
3. Select an image other than the default (on my system it's "Next", the
low-poly image of a wave crashing on a beach)
4. Click "Apply"
5. Set the wallpaper type to "Slideshow"
6. Choose any order except "Random"
7. Click "Apply"
8. Lock the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
The lock screen's wallpaper is now the default wallpaper ("Next" on my system).
EXPECTED RESULT
The lock screen's wallpaper should be first image in the chosen order, as it is
when performing these same actions in the desktop wallpaper settings.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 Linux 5.4.0-42-generic
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I wanted to have a slideshow of the same image on both my lock screen and my
desktop. Since it's impossible to set the lock screen's wallpaper to the
desktop wallpaper (bug 383670), I figured I could approximate it by setting
both to Slideshow and cycle through the same images ("A to Z" setting).
However, this doesn't work due to the above-described bug. When the change is
made, the lock screen resets its image to the default image, which on my system
isn't the first or last image, so they will always be out of sync.
