SUMMARY

Ksplash should show a screen with a spinner with the breath theme. In place of the screen I see a blocky square box turning around. I see this on a laptop with AMD GPU. On an older Intel haswell laptop the spinner is fine. With other themes (e.g. breeze), the spinner is fine. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Login

OBSERVED RESULT

Corrupted spinner appears before plasma launch is completed

EXPECTED RESULT

Nice looking spinner is shown and animated.

This would be an issue either in the Breath theme, or your GPU drivers, or both.

Indeed, seems kernel related, can be closed.
