Description derverrucktefuchs 2015-06-05 17:21:32 UTC
Description of problem:
KDE 5 desktop environment broken and unusable. Panel widgets get shoved and "squished" together on the left side. The system tray does not respond to clicks. The application menu takes several minutes to appear, if at all. Once it appears it takes several minutes to respond to clicks, if at all. The mouse cursor moves slowly in a jerking manner as if drunk or at a low framerate. Dolphin and System Settings respond slowly to user input. KWalletManager does not appear/start to authenticate login of Wi-Fi.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-desktop 5.3.0-6.fc22
plasma-workspace 5.3.0-8.fc22

Might also include:
f22-kde-theme 22.3-1.fc22
plasma-desktop-doc 5.3.0-6.fc22

How reproducible:
Easily when updating to listed versions numbers of affected components.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update specified components to listed versions
2.reboot
3.log into KDE Plasma session

Actual results:
KDE Plasma becomes broken, slow, and unusable

Expected results:
A normal, stable login session of the KDE Plasma environment.

Additional info:
Use Ethernet when testing bug. Wi-Fi may not work due to KWalletManager not appearing to authenticate Wi-Fi login. Problem is Fixed when using: 

'sudo dnf downgrade plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-doc plasma-workspace f22-kde-theme'

Comment 2 derverrucktefuchs 2015-06-06 09:29:28 UTC
I played around a little more with the updates. Specifically plasma-workspace and f22-kde-theme are causing the breakage. plasma-desktop and plasma-desktop-doc are not causing the breakage. I can't install f22-kde-theme and plasma-workspace without one another, so I can't isolate the problem any further since those packages must depend on one another to work.

Comment 3 Dominic Harvey 2015-06-09 13:51:06 UTC
sudo dnf downgrade plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-doc plasma-workspace, reboot, problem stil persist.

sudo dnf downgrade f22-kde-theme, reboot, problem fixed.

Hope this help.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2015-06-09 13:54:01 UTC
Pretty sure the renaming of the f22 theme from
org.fedoraproject.twentytwo
to
org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.two

is the culprit here.

I found at least 3 places where looknfeel is stored in configs:

kdeglobals
[KDE]
LookAndFeelPackage=

kscreenlockerrc
[Greeter]
Theme=

ksplashrc
[KSplash]
Theme=

probably ought to add a kconf_update script to f22-kde-theme to account for these renames

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2015-06-10 04:41:48 UTC
dup'd bug #1229970 seems to confirm my suspicions in comment #4 (particularly about kdeglobals' LookAndFeelPackage= key)

Comment 7 Fred Wells 2015-06-10 04:45:56 UTC
Note that simply renaming of the theme in kdeglobals to match the new name does not resolve the issue.

Comment 8 Fedora Update System 2015-06-11 00:58:40 UTC
f22-kde-theme-22.3-2.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22.

Comment 10 Linus Bäcklund 2015-06-12 12:02:55 UTC
The problem is still not solved with f22-kde-theme-22.3-3.fc22 and plasma-workspace-5.3.1-2.fc22

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2015-06-12 13:54:40 UTC
For anyone testing this where it fails to help, it would help greatly if you could provide the output of this command, before and after installing the candidate fix:

kreadconfig5 --file=kdeglobals --group=KDE --key=LookAndFeelPackage

Thanks.

Comment 12 Linus Bäcklund 2015-06-12 14:57:44 UTC
After = org.fedoraproject.twentytwo.desktop

Comment 13 Rex Dieter 2015-06-12 15:02:21 UTC
Did you restart your session?  (hint: you do need to relogin to fully test this)

Comment 14 Rex Dieter 2015-06-12 15:16:10 UTC
Oh, ick, there's a .desktop postfix?  I need to fix that, my code was only checking for "org.fedoraproject.twentytwo"

Comment 15 Linus Bäcklund 2015-06-12 15:59:15 UTC
f22-kde-theme-22.3-4.fc22 fixes most problems, the KWalletManager issue still remains.

Comment 16 Rex Dieter 2015-06-12 16:19:48 UTC
One issue per bug please (the latter may be bug #1228119 , particularly if you ever disabled kwallet in the past)

Comment 18 David Streichl 2015-06-16 07:27:56 UTC
Hi, I had similar issues with Plasma as described above (upgrade from F21 to F22), right after login, CPU up to 100%, repetitive KDED5 crashes (again and again), not usable main panel, parts of the main panel squished together... I had to use Gnome instead... After installing pkg from C#17, it works again :-).

Comment 19 Fedora Update System 2015-06-21 00:04:51 UTC
f22-kde-theme-22.3-4.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
