KDE4.14.8: cannot change Default Desktop Background Image
Posted: 2020/05/25 12:01:55
Hello,
1) After a couple of updates I realized that the Default Desktop Background wallpaper image has somehow altered "itself" and all my attempts to change it from the 'Desktop Settings' menu cannot be applied any longer.
Actually, among a number of wallpapers from kde-wallpapers.noarch (see the picture below) only two, Elarun and Horos, can be successfully enabled; also, their resolutions are indicated 2560x1600 and 1920x1080, respectively; for other wallpapers, it is 0x0.
When I login into KDE as 'root', I can enable any of all wallpapers through Desktop Settings.
All folders and their contents from /usr/share/wallpapers seem to be in place and bear the same permissions:
2) Another thing, which is possibly connected to the pb, when I try to "Get New Wallpapers..." I get a new window with the following error message "Loading providers from file http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed" at the very bottom.
Needless to mention that as 'root' I do not have this issue.
So, how to figure out with these issues ?
Thanks much in advance

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
