After upgrading to konsole 16.08.0 the transparency effect no longer works. In Settings->Appearance tab there is a message "Konsole was started before desktop effects were enabled. You need to restart Konsole to see transparent background.". Reverting to 16.04.3 solves the problem. ArchLinux 64 bit with frameworks 5.25. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install konsole 16.08.0 2. Check that transparency effect does not work 3. See the error message in Settings->Appearance configuration tab
Already reported, and should be fixed in 16.08.1. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 366368 ***
Thanks Wolfgang, I trust your word but I see a little incoherence here. The bug report 366368 is about non-working effects in 16.04.03 but for me that version works, while 16.08.0 does not (both tested with frameworks 5.25). So is my report really a duplicate of 366368, or in other words, will the fix for 366368 work also for me? Thanks.
(In reply to Nicola Mori from comment #2) > Thanks Wolfgang, I trust your word but I see a little incoherence here. The > bug report 366368 is about non-working effects in 16.04.03 True, I have to admit that I didn't notice when I marked this as duplicate. But it doesn't necessary mean that the reporter actually used 16.04.3. 16.08.0 is not selectable in the "Version" chooser here. And the reporter only explicitly stated that this problem exists since 5.7.2, which is the Plasma version. I have no idea which konsole version really was in the "Neon packages" on the 3rd of August either, and there even are different flavors of Neon (User's edition and Developer's edition). > So > is my report really a duplicate of 366368, or in other words, will the fix > for 366368 work also for me? Thanks. Well, the issue reported does sound exactly the same. And looking at the fix, it only changes/reworks things that actually got introduced in 16.08.0 in the first place (when konsole was ported away from kdelibs4support). So I definitely do think so, yes. Though in the end, to be sure you'd have to try it yourself, either by waiting for 16.08.1 or building konsole with the fix yourself.
PS: I tried it on my system now (I normally don't use transparency), and I can confirm what you write, i.e. it doesn't work with 16.08.0 (and I get the mentioned error message in the settings), while it works when I revert to 16.04.3. And, it also works again when I build 16.08.0 with the fix from bug#366368.
Thanks, I'll wait for 16.08.1.
