After recent update to 5.8.3 in KDE Neon Stable, I can no longer change my desktop background. All I get are two wallpaper type options (see attached) and I have no idea what they even mean.

It is the same for me. I'am also an plasma 5.8.3 with neon.

Changing the "wallpaper type" does seem to make any difference either. But I don't know what they mean anyway.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2016-11-15 09:20:17 UTC
All neon packages were rebuilt due to a security issue, see https://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20161114-1.txt

Please update all packages and check if this also resolves the Wallpaper issue.

If not, please try with a freshly created user account.

You're missing the image wallpaper plugin.
That's an installation or downstream (distribution) issue.
Comment 4 Maximilian Hartert 2016-11-15 18:48:27 UTC
I updated all packages and installed the package "plasma-workspace-wallpapers" and "kdewallpapers".

"plasma-wallpapers-addons", "kde-wallpapers", "kde-wallpapers-default", "kdeartwork-wallpapers" and "kdeartwork" are already installed.

Have I missed the actual responsible package? So far nothing has changed.
A new user did not help either.

This is a bug on our side.

Sorry.
Comment 6 Jasem Mutlaq 2016-11-18 14:38:16 UTC
Yup, still same problem after all latest updates from KDE Neon. On the last update, Plasma decided to replace one background on one of my monitor to the default bright rainbow one, and now I am stuck with a wallpaper that I cannot change.
Comment 7 Jasem Mutlaq 2016-11-19 11:39:59 UTC
Ok after today's update, it's fixed for me.
Comment 8 Maximilian Hartert 2016-11-19 15:14:54 UTC
Yes, it's working again :)

Thanks to whoever fixed it.
