Description Kevin Kofler 2012-02-14 22:22:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Due to an error in the brand new F17 artwork, the desktop background in KDE Plasma is all black by default. Updates fixing this are already queued for stable and we really want them in the Alpha, so feedback for the new artwork can be obtained, "sneek preview" reviews show working artwork in screenshots etc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
beefy-miracle-kde-theme-16.91.0-1.fc17

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the KDE Live CD.
  
Actual results:
Black desktop background.

Expected results:
Useful desktop background.

Comment 2 Tim Flink 2012-02-14 22:36:30 UTC
I'm pretty much +/- 0 on blocker for this. AFAIK, the alpha artwork criterion is primarily there to make sure we don't get confusion between Fn and Fn+1 alpha. A black desktop, however ugly, isn't likely to be confused with the F16 artwork for KDE.

I'm definitely +1 NTH, though. Updating the artwork is relatively low-risk and good to have for Alpha.

If a tested fix is available, the difference between the two is mostly academic, though.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-14 22:44:47 UTC
I'm OK with NTH as long as the fix gets in. :-) (The issue being that there's talk of going straight to RC1 instead of TC3, which means it'd need to be pulled in immediately. FWIW, I don't think rushing ahead of schedule is that great an idea.)

Comment 4 satellitgo 2012-02-14 23:23:13 UTC
1-) Fedora-17-Alpha-TC2-i686-Live-KDE.iso has "Vern" background running live CD with enforcing=0

2-)Last successful nightly compose:
 Fedora-17-Nightly-20120210.09-i686-Live-kde.iso has "Vern" background running live CD with enforcing=0

3-) without enforcing=0:
Fedora-17-Nightly-20120210.09-i686-Live-kde.iso has "Vern" background 
"unable to log in live user"

Does this only apply to installs from non live media?

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-14 23:30:05 UTC
This got changed post TC2.

Try the 20120214 nightly:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3790203
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3790202
It has the affected builds.

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2012-02-14 23:32:14 UTC
Minor correction:

> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
> beefy-miracle-kde-theme-16.91.0-1.fc17

Actually, the faulty NVR is:
beefy-miracle-kde-theme-16.91.0-2.fc17

It's fixed in 16.91.0.1 in any case.

+1 nth, -1 blocker.

2012 feb  15 - RC2 netinstall x86-64 of 6 desktops - (customize now) :LDXE, Gnome, KDE Plasma, KDE Plasma (Failsafe) ,Openbox, Sugar, Xfcd session.

KDE Plasma (and Failsafe) have black background after startup sequence shows fireworks background.

LDXE; Gnome3.3.5; Xfce have the fireworks background. Openbox has grey screen.

Comment 14 satellitgo 2012-02-16 13:41:52 UTC
KDE black background fixed by right corner screen [Desktop-toolbox]/Desktop settings/View/wallpaper image/Beefy Miracle [apply]
Then fireworks background is correct

Comment 15 Adam Williamson 2012-02-16 17:23:27 UTC
A network install is not a good way to test, because you won't necessarily get the fixed packages. If you look you'll find you have the older versions of beefy-miracle-kde-theme and kde-settings, because there hasn't been an F17 updates push yet.
