(Reporting as a bug as I got no help on forums). From 5.12 onwards, every time I right-click on the desktop or try to change lockscreen wallpaper, the"Wallpaper type" (or what is says in english) selection widget has no options. I tried creating a whole new user on my system, but from there the thing is the same. Expected results: Being able to select "static image", "color" and etc (and being able to select an image when selecting "static image") when changing lockscreen and desktop wallpapers. Still I can change desktop wallpaper by dragging an image file from Dolphin. Alas I don't know if there's a similar workaround for changing the lock screen wallpaper. The output of plasmashell can be found here (there are some weird things there, but I don't know if they're relevant to this): https://pastebin.com/w2rcTadT OS: Gentoo amd64 Plasma 5.13 & Frameworks 5.48 from the KDE overlay.
Please include: - a screenshot - ls of /usr/share/plasma/wallpapers

Here's the ls output: ls -alLh /usr/share/plasma/wallpapers total 40K drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 124 ago 7 16:46 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4,0K may 12 2017 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33K nov 4 2017 kpluginindex.json drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 101 ago 7 07:02 org.kde.color drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 87 ago 7 07:02 org.kde.image drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 64 jul 14 07:02 org.kde.plasma.worldmap drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 64 ago 7 07:02 org.kde.slideshow
> kpluginindex.json try either deleting this or running sudo kpackagetool5 --generate-index -g And if you can read gentoo packaging to see if the emerge is calling something like that last line explicitly that would be much appreciated. It's not from any KDE code.

Thank you so much :) > And if you can read gentoo packaging to see if the emerge is calling > something like that last line explicitly that would be much appreciated. > It's not from any KDE code. Well, I just did: grep -r kpackagetools5 /usr/portage grep -r kpackagetools5 /var/lib/layman/kde grep -r kpluginindex.json /usr/portage grep -r kpluginindex.json /var/lib/layman/kde and all of them returned nothing. Not sure if that's what you meant but I guess it didn't came from any KDE ebuild but rather from an plasma widget I got from the store quite time ago. However, than you so much for your help. Leaving this as invalid, as I could finally confirm this wasn't related to upstream.
