Description DariuszSki 2011-04-25 17:16:14 CEST

Description of problem:
The splash screen listed as "Default-Animated" as a KDE splash boot screen does not work. If selected, after typing in the password the screen goes black, until the KDE desktop starts up.

If you use "Default" or "Mageia-Dark", they work okay.

"Default_Animated" uses kde4-splash-mga engine, on checking, it is installed. If you click to test the splash screen, the entire screen is white.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia Beta1

How reproducible:
Click icon on Kicker "System Settings" -> Workspace Appearance -> Splash Screen

Select "Default-Animated" then reboot, you will have a black screen when KDE starts up. Reverting to any other the other installed KDE startup screen and they display as expected.

This is a know issue but will it will probably be fixed only for mageia 2.
Maybe we'll simply remove it for Mageia 1.

i pushed a new version without it Default Animated, we'll enable it again when we'll get the svg files.

Closing as wontfix :
-> kde 4.8 is going to provide a new splash engine so it's probably a better idea to start working on it.
