Description Angelo Naselli 2014-05-03 08:17:03 CEST

Description of problem:
Setting the folder view to show Desktop folder content on desktop (old -legacy?- view) does not work properly and the desktop view is restored to the predefined dekstop after any boot.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unblock objects 
2. right click on desktop and choose folder settings 
3. choose folder view and if not already choose the Desktop one
4. Create some folders and files (I have some folders and files there)
5. Add a widget (I have a trash widget and a picture viewer)
6. block object 

Shutdown and switch on again -I haven't tested a reboot yet-.

The desktop is in predefined view, but settings are correctly set to Folder.

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2014-10-13 19:28:35 CEST

I confirm the problem on a MGA 4.0 up to date.
All the icons and other files or folders disapear from the KDE Desktop at startup.
Workaround: create an activity, then each time the desktop icons are missing, switch to this activity then back to the desktop.

Comment 2 Jean-Christophe Cardot 2014-10-13 19:31:33 CEST

seems to be known upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304264

Comment 3 Martin Volf 2014-11-02 12:44:06 CET

It seems to be fixed in KDE 4.14.2 : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294795#c372

By patch from Mark Harmstone: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294795#c356

Can be added that patch to core_testing (actual MGA4 KDE 4.12.5)?

Thanks!

Installed and restarted X. My desktop seems to have the expected layout.
Tomorrow i will do some more tests and give a better feed back.

Comment 6 Angelo Naselli 2015-03-29 18:27:10 CEST

It seems to be fixed to me.

Comment 7 David Walser 2015-05-11 04:16:11 CEST

Angelo, which architecture did you test?

Can we assign this to QA?

Comment 8 Angelo Naselli 2015-05-11 15:20:24 CEST

David, X86_64, e.g. the one in which i found the problem ;)

Comment 9 David Walser 2015-05-11 22:29:04 CEST

On i586 I haven't seen any regressions, but never had any issues before either.  I have some systems with the folder view containment and some with the desktop containment and all work fine.  Maybe someone else can reproduce the issue.

Assigning to QA.  We can't just leave things sitting around in updates_testing.

Can someone write an advisory?  See comment 0 for now.

Adding feedback marker until we have more details, there's nothing to work with here at the moment.

Comment 11 Angelo Naselli 2015-05-12 19:03:14 CEST

Which kind of feedback? i586? my netbook is broken :(

Comment 12 claire robinson 2015-05-12 19:09:43 CEST

We need an advisory with srpms and rpms please.

Feedback marker is just what we add to the whiteboard when we're waiting for feedback. It then shows in grey here:http://mageia.madb.org/tools/updates

Comment 13 Angelo Naselli 2015-05-12 19:41:33 CEST

fine, if not today i will write something tomorrow. But i don't know which packages are affected, since i just updated kde from testing, maybe @Florian?

Comment 14 claire robinson 2015-05-12 19:44:08 CEST

Thanks. It all ends up here btw

Tested on my Mageia 4 x86-64 Acer laptop - I was able to reproduce this bug, and after updating to the updates in updates_testing (except the -devel package), I was able to see that it was fixed. Marking as MGA4-64-OK.  Thanks!
