--- Comment #1 from Justin Zobel <jus...@kde.org> ---
OK so I can confirm that the wallpaper disappears on reboot but that is
expected as the wallpaper is stored as a file in ~/.cache/plasma_engine_potd/
as well as the metadata file for author info etc. So deleting the cache folder
would be expected to remove that.

However, I cannot replicate the issue where the wallpaper does not download.

On reboot, I had the blank wallpaper. If I go into Wallpaper Settings, the
wallpaper is re-downloaded automatically.

I'm using the first picture provider the NASA one and I see in my journal the
following:

journalctl -b --user | grep -i apod
Sep 11 11:14:49 lenovo-laptop plasmashell[3555]: kf.kio.core: mimetype()
emitted again, or after sending first data!; job URL =
QUrl("https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/";)
Sep 11 11:14:50 lenovo-laptop plasmashell[3555]: kf.kio.core: mimetype()
emitted again, or after sending first data!; job URL =
QUrl("https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2409/NightTatra_Rosadzinski_5028.jpg";)

This is it fetching the wallpaper again for me.

Can you please check journalctl for "wallpaper" or "apod" (if using the NASA
one) to see if there's any messages?
