See attached video for details. The pre-selected splash screen is not the one currently in use; it's not possible to change or preview the splash screen. https://mega.nz/file/Z84D1L6Y#Fk-0q00lLs8efGuZ-fXj2dfn5bfXjhxMz0lLBQMIvoo Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.245.0 Qt Version: 6.6.0 Kernel Version: 6.6.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
For me breeze plays but some other themes dont
(In reply to David Redondo from comment #1) > For me breeze plays but some other themes dont yes, confirmed. The Breeze theme seems to work dine.
An issue with the other themes auto-converted metadata, perhaps? Or maybe it *didn't* get auto-converted?
I found that oxygen was not converted; https://invent.kde.org/plasma/oxygen/-/commit/807f6216ae0cf0bc16bfa4eef573d24a295450b8
Something is wrong with the temporary location, for example if I try to install the "beatifulltree" splash screen it shows: ``` kf.newstuff.core: Install: "BeautifulTreeAnimation" from "/tmp/CgosWX-BeautifulTreeAnimation.tar.gz" kf.package: Couldn't open metadata file "/tmp/CgosWX-BeautifulTreeAnimation.tar.gz" "/tmp/systemsettings-tfPoiI/BeautifulTreeAnimation/" ``` But there is no dir available with that directory: ``` ll /tmp/systemsettings- systemsettings-AJBtpW/ systemsettings-efOAMj/ systemsettings-nuLniY/ systemsettings-xOhdWD/ systemsettings-AYZJrt/ systemsettings-mtpmty/ systemsettings-pyITvm/ systemsettings-ZYXjXB/ ```
Possibly the same issue as Bug 472925? Or the same root cause?
aren't those made for plasma5 tho? splashscreens are in qml which is not compatible between Qt5 and 6
Ah right, so we need a new category for this, then.

So I see we can't choose any splash screens currently, because plasma6 splash screens got a new category? Just to confirm, I understand if it is so. If so, we have the same issue on the login screen I think. And the boot splash screen. Some work btw, but most don't. Should we create new bug reports for those?
That's correct. Since splash screens are QML code, and QML changed in Qt6, we can't guarantee that all (or even any) splash screens that were made with Qt5 will work on Qt6. I'm not sure about the situation with Plymouth splash screens though. It might be something different.
