Since beta1, there is a delay in plasma desktop startup. All I see after the splash screen has vanished is an unpleasant black background for a few seconds - then kwallet appears, and after that comes the plasma panel, background etc. This happens all the time and also in a non-polluted new user environment. I am on latest kernel, mesa and intel userspace drivers. Reproducible: Always
Forgot to add that it is the same in 4.10.90.
Created attachment 80851 [details] screencast screencast trying to show what's happening. unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of frame skipping or sth like that - it is playing much too fast, depending on cpu load. until 4.11, the splash screen always neatly faded into the plasma desktop.
This happens with the kubuntu 4.10.90 packages as well. Ksplash goes by very fast and quits into a black screen. A few seconds later plasma shows up.
@Philip, Andreas -> 83d301880e78a3aa43e0aedd8f40abb2a506f1ff (can't confirm 100%, but after that commit i noticed this behaviour) Easy to test a revert though ;-)
I can confirm now. @David, any idea about this one?
Yes, fixed after revert.
still a problem in 4.10.95
same in 4.10.97 - please, let's have that fixed for the final...
David's commit https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/83d301880e78a3aa43e0aedd8f40abb2a506f1ff any reason to have that in Plasma for KDE SC 4?
Still present in 4.11.0 :)
Also effected by it and using openSuSE 12.3 64 bit with KDE 4.11.0 repos :)
Added review request - https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112073/
I can confirm issue reported here (and that the proposed fix in reviewboard #112073 seems to fix it).
Yes, I've basically using that patch since 4.10.90 without any trouble.
ah, sorry, that was the revert. I'll test your patch as well.
The same for me with the current build from neon ppa on Kubuntu. But my desktop keeps black, the panel shows up shortly and disappears. I have to use Alt+F2 to start applications.
(In reply to comment #12) > Added review request - https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112073/ This works fine on my system, thanks. :)
