I've got this shot from phab @ragreen had uploaded it. While it's Neon, it looks the same in Kubuntu on my other machine.

The first screen is most likely from a VM (my Neon VM looks like that too). Bare metal should look like the bottom one. Can anyone confirm?

@ngraham My first shot comes from a real metal install. It's a low-specs and old machine. Which makes it even more surprising.

PS: also, on the same old machine, there's no calendar bug. I don't get it.

Mmm, is compositing off on that machine, and/or can it not be turned on due to low specs?

I haven't turned off compositing.

But did it turn itself off automatically? Check please. System Settings → Display & Monitor → Compositor. Please list any differences in settings on that page between the two machines.

I never messed with the compositor after installation and it looks like ...

... on the old machine.

Please list any differences in settings on that page between the two machines.

As soon as I get on the other machine ...

So, compositing is not turned off and I still get a nice logout and calendar T8603. Any theories?

Please list any differences in settings on that page between the two machines.

I usually only switch to dashboard, breeze dark, single click and un-check Window Aperture on both. Other than that, nothing. So no differences in settings.

Do you think I'm paying some trick on you? No VM.

The question is: can anyone replicate the nice logout on metal?

Yes, I have a nice logout screen on my bare metal Bionic install.

I'm thinking there's maybe an upstream bug here...

At any rate, the bug is present both in Neon and Kubuntu.

Want to see it. :)

Isn't there a logical fracture?

@ngraham I'll go out there and tell (random) people to post a screenshot.

Switching opengl does not seem to change anything ....

I'm pretty sure this old machine deesn't even support this version.

@rikmills What is your opinion?

"I have no idea" is also a good answer, Nate.

I think the most likely answer is that this is a bug in the logout screen and you should open a bug in the KDE bug tracker and close this Kubuntu task.

Show me your Kubuntu 18.04 logout screen, please. I want this task closed asap.

Looks correct to me (it has a mostly opaque dark background). Close the task and file a bug.

:) Oh,well, consider it closed.

Please file an upstream bug. If you are still experiencing the issue on your own machines, there is still an issue somewhere, and that needs a bug report. Just not here, since it's not Kubuntu's fault.

Still curious how your logout looks like :) I'm out of here.

Please file an upstream bug

Why don't you want to get this bug fixed?

Why don't you want to get this bug fixed?

So, you're admitting that the bug exists.

Looks correct to me (it has a mostly opaque dark background). Close the task and file a bug.

You're also saying that the bug looks correct to you.

Just not here, since it's not Kubuntu's fault.

Never said it was. And yes, I want it fixed but do you genuinely believe it'll be fixed if I file a bug report? I had some poor results in the past with reporting bugs, you know. But I might report it, as requested.

What I don't like though is that some people are looking the other way when the reality is presented to them. I haven't wanted to post this.

It looks fine for me.

It doesn't look fine for you on one of your machines.

That means there's a bug in the code somewhere that makes it not look fine all the time, because it should look fine everywhere for everyone. To help get this issue fixed, file a bug on bugs.kde.org.

The next thing you write should be the URL to the bugzilla ticket that you've filed to track the issue so that KDE developers can fix it. If you don't want to do that, then please go away and stop wasting everyone's time with your word games and nonsense. Life's too short, and I'm here to get something done, not mess around with someone who doesn't want to behave like an adult.
