After installing F26 using the netinstall image with the KDE environment group + a few other groups selected, I have got a system where Plasma is nearly unusable due to multiple issues. All of them are caused by the plasma-lookandfeel-fedora package not getting automatically installed. However, the /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/ directory exists and contains just a few scripts belonging to the kde-settings-plasma package. This causes various applications to try to use this theme, even though most of its files are missing, and fail in various ways: 1) KSplash renders only a black screen: ksplashqml[1589]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/" 2) Krunner does not work at all, pressing the global keyboard shortcut causes the current window to lose focus, but no KRunner window ever appears. krunner[1684]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/" 3) Locking the session leads to a black screen with only a mouse cursor and no obvious way to recover. kscreenlocker_greet[4094]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/" kscreenlocker_greet[4094]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/backgrounds/f26/default/standard/" 4) The Logout/Shutdown/etc. buttons in Kicker do not work. ksmserver-logout-greeter[1245]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/" ksmserver-logout-greeter[1245]: ksmserver: Couldn't find a theme for the Shutdown dialog "" 5) The "look and feel" KCM does not show any themes, even though Breeze is installed and should be usable. systemsettings5[3642]: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/" Installing the plasma-lookandfeel-fedora makes all of these problems disappear. I guess that kde-settings-plasma should either require plasma-lookandfeel-fedora or refrain from shipping a largely incomplete theme.

On my fresh installation of Fedora 26, this also seem to affect Splash Screen settings in System Settings -> Workspace Theme -> Splash Screen. Without the plasma-lookandfeel-fedora package, the System Settings application crashes when clicking the Splash Screen icon in the left pane. After installing the plasma-lookandfeel-fedora package manually the Splash Screen dialogue seem stable and presents its options in the right pane. I will conduct further tests to see if this also resolves the segfault crashes I've been having with ksplashqml.

Yes! After some initial tests, installing the plasma-lookandfeel-fedora package also seem to resolve the issue when Fedora is locking the screen. If the package plasma-lookandfeel-fedora is not installed, ksplashqml will segfault resulting in a black screen with just a mouse pointer.

Looks like it affects f27, and f27-beta in particular too, re-opening.
plasma-workspace-5.10.5-3.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-07b7238be6
Proposed as a Blocker for 27-beta by Fedora user rdieter using the blocker tracking app because: plasma spin is (likely?) non functional without plasma-lookandfeel-fedora being present, this latest build (re)adds an explicit dependency for it.
I was able to reproduce this with Fedora 27 Candidate Beta-1.2. (In reply to Fedora Update System from comment #6) > plasma-workspace-5.10.5-3.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. > https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-07b7238be6 this (with plasma-lookandfeel-fedora as dependency), fixed the bug.
Discussed during blocker review [1]: AcceptedBlocker (beta) - This bug violates the criterion: "Shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work using standard console commands and the mechanisms offered (if any) by all release-blocking desktops." [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2017-09-25/
This is fixed with Beta RC3.
