Description Guo Yunhe 2019-03-01 14:08:15 UTC

SUMMARY

If the file path of chosen image contains Chinese characters, setting background image will fail. (image is not copied, config file is not saved)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open SDDM module in System settings.
2. Choose a background image with Chinese characters in file name or folder name. (You can rename a folder to "图片" and put images inside)
3. Click save.
4. Check /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user

OBSERVED RESULT
file is not copied to the theme folder and "background" property is not set correctly.

EXPECTED RESULT
file should be copied to the theme folder and "background" property should be changed to the new file name.

I added some qDebug() lines and got:

Debug message from helper: SddmAuthHelper received:
Debug message from helper: QMap(("sddm.conf", QVariant(QString, "/etc/sddm.conf"))("sddm.conf/Autologin/Relogin", QVariant(bool, false))("sddm.conf/Autologin/User", QVariant(QString, ""))("sddm.conf/General/HaltCommand", QVariant(QString, ""))("sddm.conf/General/RebootCommand", QVariant(QString, ""))("sddm.conf/Theme/Current", QVariant(QString, "breeze"))("sddm.conf/Theme/CursorTheme", QVariant(QString, "breeze_cursors"))("sddm.conf/Users/MaximumUid", QVariant(QString, "60000"))("sddm.conf/Users/MinimumUid", QVariant(QString, "1000"))("theme.conf.user", QVariant(QString, "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user"))("theme.conf.user/General/background", QVariant(QString, "/home/guo/Nextcloud/??/??/????.jpg"))("theme.conf.user/General/type", QVariant(QString, "image")))

All non-latin character became "?"

I guess when args were passed from ThemeConfig to SddmAuthHelper, encoding and decoding is incorrect.
