fri Can not confirm this behaviour on an up to date plasma. The standard permissions on /home/xxxxxx/.local/share/plasma/wallpapers/ are drwxr-xr-x and the owner is your user. With this standard permissions the download and installation of wallpapers works flawlessly. I believe you screwed up your file permissions of your home directory. Why else would someone need sudo to change permissions in his own user home? Create a new user and test with an untinkered user profile.

Why > else would someone need sudo to change permissions in his own user home? I only changed a+xrw to the wallpapers folder and once I did it I was able to apply the wallpaper plugin. I will create another user and test it. Wo is the owner of this directory? "Who"... Sorry for not clarifying sturmvogel but I was creating 2 other users to test. I just created 2 test users and they all work fine. On test1 the owner of wallpaper is test1 same as test2 the owner of wallpaper is test2 for user ezequiel the owner of wallpaper is root But, I noticed something strange with sound also. When I logged to users test1 and test2 I noticed the kde sounds, but when I logged in with ezequiel (my user) nothing sounds. So I got to systemsettings, audio and clicked on Test, front Right.. and voila: Error trying to play a test sound. The system said: "system error" (In reply to Ezequiel Partida from comment #7) > for user ezequiel the owner of wallpaper is root > ..... > > When I logged to users test1 and test2 I noticed the kde sounds, but when I > logged in with ezequiel (my user) nothing sounds. You have broken your user directory for ezequiel by changing the ownership. This happens when you use "su" instead of "su -" when you login as root. See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Never_use_just_su You may try to fix the ownership of your home directory with following command: $ su - Password: # chown -Rc ezequiel:ezequiel /home/tester # exit exit $ So overall, this is not a Plasma bug but a broken user profile. Closing invalid. Resolution:

INVALID Sorry forget to change the command chain completely to your user name. It should be: $ su - Password: # chown -Rc ezequiel:ezequiel /home/ezequiel # exit exit $ Thank You.. I solved everything! Resolution:

Thanks again Well done sturmvogel! I see now I should not have assigned this to KDE so quickly. strange because users shouldn't have to do this. Can this be reported to KDE Upstream ? CC:

mageia Works here System got installed from Alpha1 ISO, then updated now and then. I right click on plasma 5 desktop and selected Configure Desktop and wallpaper Wallpaper Type: Picture of the Day Get New Plugins, chose Autumn wallpaper, Install (button top right) Then close that dialogue to get back and in the dropdown select autumn, Apply. Background change and leaves falling are animated. (The GUI procedure really could need improvement but that is something for upstream, and not a bug) Resolution:

WORKSFORME (In reply to Nicolas Lécureuil from comment #13) > strange because users shouldn't have to do this. > > > Can this be reported to KDE Upstream ? The issue is caused by the user using "su" instead of "su -", and then as root running a kde gui program. That caused some files in ~/.config or other config files in /home/$USER to become owned by root. See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Never_use_just_su It's not a bug, it's user education. Resolution:
WORKSFORME =>
INVALID ah perfect then :-) |
