Problem with Breath Splash Screen after upgrade to 6

After upgrading to plasma 6, everything is working fine, except the breath splash screen. I tried to reinstall the packages and check for any graphic driver issue, but found nothing.

Warning: No installed USB configs!

It’s a known issue with AMD graphics on Wayland — it’s a bug in qt 6.7… We recommend switching to X11 for the time being.

Or, you could just disable the splash screen. It doesn’t actually serve any purpose, and it needlessly delays your desktop coming to life after logging in. :man_shrugging:

Not a big issue, I can wait to see if it gets fixed on next updates.

Yeah, I know, it’s working fine in other splash screens too. I just wanted to report because I did not know it’s a known issue.

Actually a bug in Breath splash.
