SDDM 0.13: kcmsddm shows old preview-picture of Maldives (reported upstream)

[Flames_in_Paradise]

hi!

This is only a minor bug, but it's still a bug.

binary: sddm-theme-maldives

Issue: Previous background-preview is shown, which is not correct

Upon deletion of the previous background picture (copyright-issues) the preview picture for the background was not changed/synced. Thus it gives a false impression in kcm-sddm.

reported upstream: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/585

Awaiting confirmation/reply.

Inappropiate - closing this bug as per "opinion" – beyond interest within the Ubuntu-ecosystem.

I'm not sure this is worth backporting as this might not justify an SRU.

I can certainly get it fixed in Zesty if you believe it shouldn't wait until 0.14 gets in the archive.

Please speak up if you think this is urgent enough.

hi! Simon,

at the time when I was reporting this minor issue, the Development of the KCM was considered to be done within the SDDM-Project.

Now things have changed a little bit. This bug was fixed in Plasma 5.8.2 (knowing that from the Antergos-OS side)

It's listed in KDE's Release-Notes:

https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.1-5.8.2-changelog.php

You can look there for commit# / +KDE-bugreport 370490 talking about copyright-issue.

LOL crazy bot linked that to LP, which is not correct, from my POV.

there -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370490

It's listed in that KDE-Annnoucement (brief) there at the very bottom @ 'Plasma-Workspace', so you don't have to chase around in the doc.

>>OT<< Just hoping you Kubuntueros would not leave the path from Plasma 5.8 LTS, since I believe you couldn't roll back then for the next LTS - and bugfix releases like 5.8.2 could easily pass official backports.

Current Development of the FreeBSD KDE-Spin shows a litlle outlook on that
http://euroquis.nl/bobulate/?p=1511 (Qt 5.6.2 on FreeBSD) which was also populated on planet.kde, 12.10.2016

So, if the 900 bugfixes release of Qt 5.6.2 will probably arrive with the next point-release of 16.04LTS Plasma 5.8 could also be spent via Kub ppa-backports. <<OT>>
