Description Lukas Ruzicka 2025-09-05 09:11:23 UTC
With the latest ISO installations, SDDM shows the correct F43 wallpaper (rocket), but the plasma session started later still uses the old F42 wallpaper with the river.

See this openQA test:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/3695084#step/_graphical_wait_login/6

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KDE Live (20250904.0.n)
2. Log onto the system.
3. See the wallpaper
Actual Results:
Old wallpaper is used for session.

Expected Results:
New wallpaper should be used everywhere.

 Might be good to fix for Beta

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2025-09-05 18:17:14 UTC
That test was for Fedora-43-20250904.n.0 , which did not yet have the updated kde-settings. Today's F43 does have it, and the new background is shown: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/3699499#step/_graphical_wait_login/6 . This is just a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2389102 .
