Description aerody 2025-05-07 10:48:51 UTC

About the Splash Screen settings:

1. When I use x11, the settings is normal, the effect I set is displayed correctly.

2.When I use wayland, there is nothing to display.But I can enter the desktop normally.

Anyway, this is not a very serious issue, but I would like to know the reason. I would be very grateful.

Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately I'm having a hard time figuring out what bug is being reported here. Can you please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting and add more information? A set of screen recordings or phone videos would help too: one that depicts it working, and one that depicts it being broken.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, I add two attachments, one is X11, one is Wayland, I usually use Wayland, and the effects I set in the Splash Screen do not work under Wayland, but they work normally under X11.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2025-05-08 14:29:34 UTC

Got it, thanks. So you see no splash screen at all on Wayland.

I notice you're using a 3rd-party splash screen theme. Does the issue on Wayland go away if you use the default Breeze splash screen theme?

Yes, I just tried now, I use the default Breeze splash screen theme, also the Breeze do not play anything, black screen and go to desktop directly.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2025-05-08 15:44:22 UTC

How unusual. I've never encountered this before.

Is there anything relevant-looking in the journal log?

Thank you very much!

Here is the log about 35 seconds, from start to enter desktop.

I will add an attachment for your convenient.

Nothing looks terribly amiss to me.
