Description of problem: leonidas splash-screen still visible in systemsettings -> workspace appearance. But when you try to click on it there's a message about missing configuration. I assume this is a relicant from Fedora 11 ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-workspace-4.5.1-2.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.click on system settings in the K menu. 2.choose 'Workspace Appearance, 'Splash' category 3.notice there's still a 'leonidas' entry, alas non-functional. results: there shouldn't be any leonidas entry, or at least it should be functional. I guess it's better to let it appear when leonidas-backgrounds-kdm is installed Additional info: Message says 'Impossible de charger le fichier de configuration du theme' wich means (approx) : 'Unable to load theme's configuration file'
Indeed, it's visible because of fedora-logos installs Leonidas KSplashX logo. Solution would be - obsolete Leonidas theme in newer releases or fixing Leonidas theme to use system Fedora logo.
triaging to leonidas-kde-theme
Ok, so it seems : - leonidas-kde-theme must use /usr/share/pixmaps/system-logo-white, correctly scaled (it's the same image, unfortunately not the same size) - fedora-logos must remove the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/Leonidas/logo.png and the associated "Leonidas" Folder from its package. any news ? Thanks.
We cannot use system-logo-white because it's the wrong size, that's why we have our own logo.png in the first place.
so why not move the logo.png to /usr/share/pixmaps/leonidas-logo.png in fedora-logos rpm and make leonidas-kde-theme use it ? OR : move the logo.png into leonidas-kde-theme rpm ? So that when the leonidas theme is not installed, there is no Leonidas ksplash theme (best solution for me as it seems only this theme uses this image) seems to be a trivial fix, I wonder why it's been done this way in the first place. Unfortunately, i'm not able to fix it myself. Thanks a lot for your interest.
Any news ? is my proposal acceptable ? this is only one file that should be changed from one package to another (/usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/Leonidas/logo.png must move from fedora-logos to leonidas-kde-theme). is there any other way I could help ?
> Any news ? is my proposal acceptable ? No, sorry. For licensing reasons, the ONLY package allowed to contain renditions of the Fedora logo and/or logotype is fedora-logos.
(Putting the logo somewhere under /usr/share/pixmaps and having the KSplash themes symlink it from there could work, though.)
Yes. You're right. I didn't see it the first time, but laughlin-kde-theme uses a symlink named logo.png pointing to '../../../../../../pixmaps/system-logo-white.png' (in fact /usr/share/pixmaps/system-logo-white). That should be the right solution IMHO. thanks !
Well, as I wrote in comment #4, just using system-logo-white will not work because it's not of the expected size. For the newer themes, we designed them such that system-logo-white could be used.
Yes, it should be better for newer themes. I was never a fan of porting old themes to newer releases because of these complications.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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
We still don't have a working fix for this issue. (Removing the logo from fedora-logos as proposed in bug #631826 breaks the themes, so I had to revert it when Rex tried to commit that.) What we really need is to fix the KSplash KCM to only list those themes that actually have a valid config file.
*** Bug 1007335 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
After upgrading today to FC23 I don't have the leonidas anymore.
feel free to reopen it if the bug is still shows up in latest kde. Thanks
