Description Li Yi 2014-07-11 02:45:51 UTC

The problem seems existing in any themes, classic, userbar, or 3rd part themes I've installed.
If I choose 'clear image' in the background option, I'm able to see the default blue wallpaper on the login screen. But when I wanna choose my own images, the login screen becomes completely white (only the background. the widgets are still usable and I can also log-in).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and 64-bit version of kubuntu 14.04
2. Modify the background in settings -> LoginScreen(lightdm)
3. Logout
Actual Results:  
You'll see a white screen but still usable

Expected Results:  
My own image should be shown as background

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

We no longer use lightDM, having moved to SDDM several years ago. As such, this bug report is no longer applicable. Bugs reports for the new SDDM-based login screen should be filed to one of two places:

1. Visual/UI bugs with the login screen UI itself, or feature requests: plasmashell | Theme - Breeze
2. Bugs with the login/user switching process: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues
