Bug ID: 490906
Summary: Cube effect freezes desktop with medium/large
HDRIs/Skyboxes
Classification: Plasma
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Cube
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: gunq...@gmail.com
CC: vlad.zahorod...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the cube desktop effect with a skybox that is larger, activating the
effect can take 1 second to multiple seconds with a massive (16k) HDRi.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Obtain an HDRi (I am using https://polyhaven.com/a/dikhololo_night , the 4k
and 8k version show this off well, the 1k version is fast enough to not be
noticable) and set it to be used by the cube effect
2. Launch cube effect
OBSERVED RESULT
All graphics freeze while loading the skybox
EXPECTED RESULT
The desktop should not freeze, even if it takes time for the file to get loaded
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The HDRi is on an SSD, with an r5 5900x and rx 6700xt so low hardware specs I
don't think are the issue
In my opinion, the 8k version of the skybox is the minimum to be good on my
1080p screen
