Description Toralf Förster 2016-11-17 16:21:41 UTC
I logged out, renamed ~/.config to ~/.config.old and logged in.
I'm unable now to choose any wallpaper.
qt 5.6.2 + kf 5.28 + plasma 5.8.3 + apps 16.08.3 

The system is a Gentoo stable desktop
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2016-11-18 02:49:02 UTC
According to other reports I have seen, this issue is caused by the KF5 5.28 update.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2016-11-18 10:18:12 UTC
What do you mean by "unable to choose"? 

Can you open the dialog and "wallpaper type" is empty?
Comment 3 Wolfgang Bauer 2016-11-18 10:51:44 UTC
Maybe caused by the switch to json metadata and this commit missing in 5.8.3?

We had to add that to our plasma-workspace 5.8.3 package in openSUSE to make adding panels work again after the update to Frameworks 5.28.
Haven't tried to change the wallpaper though, so I don't know if that had problems too...
Comment 4 Nikos Chantziaras 2016-11-18 13:27:37 UTC
Changing desktop layout from "Desktop" to "Folder View" is also not possible. You can select it, but "Apply" (or "OK") do nothing. The desktop settings dialog ignores all settings changes.

Git commit e7861d979c71815a614f2baf0b3d25f329fadef0 by Marco Martin.
Committed on 18/11/2016 at 14:51.
Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

keep installing metadata.desktop

there are too many existing users that rely on existence of metadata.desktop,
so keep installing it, even if with new plasma-workspace releases only the
metadata.json would be used. the framework should never change its behavior
wrt old software, even if it was doing something in a sense wrong

This bug was closed as "FIXED". So what do I do? There's no update in portage or anything.
Comment 8 Nikos Chantziaras 2016-11-19 06:34:19 UTC
I've hit a slow mirror. I updated again, and there was an update to kpackage, which applies the patch.

It doesn't fix anything. The same issues are still there.

Please reopen this bug.

With that commit in, you also need to rebuild plasma-workspace to fix the issue. Alternatively you can update plasma-workspace to latest 5.8 branch too

I rebuild kde-plasma/plasma-workspace after upgrading kde-frameworks/kpackage and I can confirm it works.
Comment 11 Nikos Chantziaras 2016-11-19 07:22:24 UTC
Thanks.

I think it might be a good idea to revbump plasma-workspace though.

The bug is resolved as fixed because this is the KDE bugtracker and the bugfix has been committed to the appropriate KDE repository.

Please complain to your distribution for updated packages, although they should already be aware as a mail regarding this issue has already been sent out.

Oops, I thought this is the Gentoo bugzilla :-P

Sorry. Didn't pay attention to the URL.
