I have two Arch/KDE systems, and neither is updating its National Geographic Picture of the Day wallpaper. They are both currently stuck on an image from 3.5 weeks ago, the February 15 hippos. Is anyone else experiencing this?

FWIW my second monitor has the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Day, and this has been updating fine.

Please report this to the bug tracker, the forum is the wrong place for bug reports: https://bugs.kde.org

FWIW: I have no picture at all from Nat Geo, so I guess there is a problem with the link

Thanks Mamarok. TBH I've filed several KDE bugs, but most of them tend to be ignored, so it's hard to motivate myself to spend the time. Thanks for checking anyway.

I don't think bugs are ignored, certainly not if they are well done with all necessary information. There are just a lot of bugs, considering the hundreds of thousands of lines of code KDE software has... and there are only 24 hours in a day.
Would be nice if you could give a link to the bug in question so I can subscribe to it. For this particular bug I think there must have been a change in the source, as all other sources still work, so it should be a relatively easy fix if the API is still open.

I logged back into the bug tracker, and I have five open bugs. Three of them never had a reply, in three, five, or eight years. One had a form reply after five years, which was basically the robot bumping it. One *did* have a brief reply, albeit after five years, and with four other non-devs discussing the bug.

I guess (much like No true Scotsman) they might not be "well done with all necessary information", but I have never received any feedback informing me of this.

Having said that, I'm happy to give it another shot. However, I spent several minutes trying to work out which "product" this should go under. I couldn't really work this out. Any hints?

The most likely place I would file this bug to is https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?prod ... 0Wallpaper.

I can have a look at your open bugs, just send me the mail address you use in https://bugs.kde.org in a PM

Thanks, bug filed.

(I think you should be able to work out my other bugs from that link.)

I did indeed. I check the other 5 bugs you filed that are still open (out of 45):

3 are wish-list items, these do not really need any reaction unless the wish was rejected or implemented. If you want a discussion about a feature request, then this should go to the respective mailing list or IRC channel, depending on the project. Discussions usually do not happen on the bug tracker. Many projects also use the development platform for this, currently to be found on invent.kde.org.

The kwalletmanager one was filed for version 17.08, this has been reworked completely, is this still relevant in the current version?
The korganizer one is even older, is this still valid?

Thanks for that.

Oh okay. I'm used to other communities where contributors (including those making suggestions) are usually acknowledged either way.

You are correct. Both bugs have been fixed. I've filed them appropriately. As mentioned above, I withdrew from the KDE bug-reporting community, so hadn't checked for a while. Thanks again for checking.
