Description katnatek 2021-08-25 23:46:14 CEST
Description of problem:

If you change the welcome screen for plasma you can swicth back to mageia splash. even if you make a preview you get the one for breeze theme this is due a combination of configurations in metadata.json and maybe metadata.desktop

The metadata.json line 66 have 

"Id": "org.kde.mageia.breeze.desktop" 

the righ one is 

"Id": "org.mageia.breeze.desktop"

The file metadata.desktop line 136 have

X-KDE-fallbackPackage=org.kde.breeze.desktop

That maybe is not a mistake but i think is why you get the breeze splash preview

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Systemsettings -> Boot and shutdown ?(i'm write from spanish system) ->Welcome screen
2. Change to other welcome screen
3. Try to preview the mageia screen
4. Get a preview of breeze screen
5. Switch back to mageia screen
6. Close session
7. Start session again
8. You get the breeze welcome screen

As workarround edit ~/.config/ksplashrc
Change org.kde.mageia.breeze.desktop by org.mageia.breeze.desktop, close session and start again you get the mageia's welcome screen

Files affected are in /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.mageia.breeze.desktop

I wondered whether this bug is a duplicate of something similar, but cannot find another nearer than the 2 bugs noted 'see also'.

Could be considered as subset of bug#26980 as long as in comment #19 it gives the same final solution , i wonder why is still not fixed

Comment 12 Herman Viaene 2023-06-01 16:08:11 CEST
MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
Installed OK:
Did the following:
system settings
startup and shutdown
welcome screen
select and apply Breeze screen (SDDM) entering root password
select and apply Mageia screen.
Logout session and login the same user.
Mageia screen is shown
So update is OK for me.
Test from  someone else to confirm this???

Comment 13 Thomas Andrews 2023-06-02 13:57:55 CEST
Before the update, my HP Pavilion 15 MGA8 install did not show the issue, but I did not follow the procedure, exactly. I used systemsettings to chanege the splash screen, then rebooted to see if that had been done. Then I changed it back, successfully, and rebooted again with the Mageia screen.

No installation issues with the update. Tested again, as before, still successful. After re-reading comment 0, I tried changing the screen and putting it back without rebooting, and it still worked.

OKing and validating.
