This is also confirmed on real h/w systems upgraded from Mga4.

CC: (none) => zen25000

Noticed with gnome live iso too so not restricted to kde

Summary: Mga4 artwork is displayed between login and desktop, KDE => Mga4 artwork is displayed between login and desktop

This is "normal" as we still miss some piece of design including KDE splash. This should be done tomorrow

not sure if this goes here or a new Bug to be filed - please advise.

noted with first boot screen of Mageia-5-beta2-LiveDVD-KDE4-x86_64-DVD,

install Mageia
boot Mageia
boot  Harddrive

has Mga4 artwork

fixed with mageia-theme-Default-1.5.0.41-1.mga5

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Strictly speaking its not mga-theme that will fix this, its mga-kde4-config, however, I wont reopen as the new kde4-config is coming for tests now.

you are right indeed :)

I noticed recent updates to:
Default-kde4-config-5-0.20150128.1.mga5.noarch Wed 28 Jan 2015 21:57:35 GMT
mageia-kde4-config-common-5-0.20150128.1.mga5.noarch Wed 28 Jan 2015 21:57:34 GMT
...however I am still seeing mga4 artwork immediately after login.

I renamed the kde user cache:
su
mv -f /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER"_orig"

but still no change.

Is there a .rpmnew somewhere that I have yet to find?

Is the animation showing correctly or is it a single screen that flashes before the animation starts?

It's the working Mga4 animation with bubbles.

Can you check the contents of /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/Default/ ?
It should have an "images" folder with the mga5 artwork. If not, there might be something wrong with my packaging, I'll have to check.

Something in the update is wrong then - I will investigate later.

In the meantime a workaround to this would be to set the theme manually in system settings>workspace appearance>splash screen or similar. I would give more detailed instructions but I'm on Windows atm.

See the thread on mageia lists for further discussion.

As I guess I would say that the .desktop (I think) file hasn't been updated to point to the new theme, that being said, the old images should have been removed.

reopening it for now

That is correct with the new artwork. Also the artwork prior to the login is correct.

See:

This should hopefully be fixed now with mageia-kde4-config-5-0.20150129.1.mga5
I had forgotten to "git rm" the 2560x1920 folder which contained the mga4 ksplash theme, and it seems it was use instead of the new QML theme.

As mentioned on irc the background is now correct, but there is no logo or animation.
I have done several reboots and a cold boot with no change.

Testing the update in a VM on a Cauldron install I see the same, although being slower there is more time to see what's happening.

After log-in the new Mga5 background appears for several seconds (maybe 4) then the screen goes black for maybe 2 seconds more after which the desktop fades up.

It seems that it maybe goes black where the animation should start?

This should be fixed with mageia-kde4-config-5-0.20150129.2.mga5 .

Thanks for the fix Luc, I had overlooked this setting.

I can confirm that it works OK now on real h/w and in VM.
Nice work !
