Bug ID: 456800
Summary: Plasma Mobile: Wallpaper reverts to default
occasionally
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: zargulthewiz...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using KDE Neon+Plasma on my desktop, and Manjaro with Plasma Mobile on my
PinePhone, the desktop background has repeatedly reset to the default wallpaper
upon unlock/login. I initially thought this had to do with the wallpaper being
stored on an external hard drive that wasn’t always mounted on my PC, but I’ve
since moved it to my home folder, and the problem persisted. Once it occurred
on my pinephone, I realized this was probably specific to Plasma. Thankfully,
it seems to be happening far less often on my desktop now, but I have no idea
why.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a custom wallpaper on Plasma Mobile (a photo, for example)
2. Continue normal use of locking and unlocking regularly, shutting down and
rebooting occasionally.
3. If that doesn’t trigger it, try a couple forced shutdowns.
OBSERVED RESULT
Eventually, the wallpaper would reset to the default (currently “Safe
Landing”).
I think this may have something to do with a graphical reset or plasma
restarting, because one time I unexpectedly witnessed the KDE booting screen
while unlocking the phone when it was already on, and the wallpaper reset.
EXPECTED RESULT
The wallpaper stays the same unless I change it or delete the file in cache
somewhere.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As stated above, it seems to no longer be occurring on my desktop. The phone
software is up-to-date.
