Description Zarko (grof) 2009-08-26 06:52:13 UTC
Description of problem:
When I try to set Wallpaper to 'Virus' or 'Weather' in Desktop Settings - Plasma Workspace module at KDE4.3.0, only getting light blue background without any effects of these wallpaper plugins. Of course, after switching from 'virus' to anything, Plasma will crash and I must restart X-server.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
KDE4.3.0 - 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click to desktop
2.click on Folder view settings
3.In dialog change Wallpaper type to Weather or Virus
  
Actual results:
Light blue background, Virus plugin will crash Plasma after changing 

Expected results:
Must showing some wallpaper image with weather or virus effects on them.

While you're at it,

rpm -q kde-settings kdebase-workspace kdebase-workspace-wallpapers
please.

One thing that's seemed to help at least 1 other person seeing this, was to install kdebase-workspace-wallpapers, but the why/how is still a mystery.

Comment 2 Zarko (grof) 2009-08-26 17:04:36 UTC
kdebase-workspace-wallpapers isn't enough to weather plugin works.

You must install kdeartwork-wallpapers package, and then works well!

In that case, this is solution for this issue.

Comment 3 Steven M. Parrish 2009-09-13 01:37:58 UTC
Rex does kdeartwork-wallpapers need to be a dependency somewhere to resolve this?

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2009-09-13 02:21:09 UTC
No, we need to fix those effects to default to our default wallpaper. We can't drag in the huge -wallpapers packages onto the live image (especially not kdeartwork-wallpapers which is supposed to be for non-default wallpapers, it's pretty bad that upstream appears to assume its presence, kdeartwork is supposed to be optional).

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2009-09-14 13:00:03 UTC
fwiw, I cannot reproduce the virus-effects-not-working-problem

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2009-09-14 13:02:10 UTC
and wrt 'weather' , never seems to do anything for me, other than show "air" wallpaper.

For folks experiencing either issue, I'd recommend reporting upstream @ bugs.kde.org (or chime in with details, if you suspect this to be a fedora-specific or packaging issue).

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2009-09-14 13:13:08 UTC
For virus, seems it simply doesn't pick up the default wallpaper correctly on the first run.  If you manually reselect wallpaper to use, it works.  Can workaround this by presetting a default in kde-settings I guess.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 09:58:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:18:10 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
