[SOLVED] sddm image not updated after upgrade to Plasma 6

I upgraded KDE Plasma to version 6 on my desktop. I use the breeze theme and haven't changed it. It keeps displaying the Plasma 5 image in the login screen. In /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze, there is a file named 5120x2880.png that contains the old (Plasma 5) image (the one with the mountains). There is also a file named preview.png that contains the new (Plasma 6) image. Also, the old (Plasma 5) image is displayed when I issue the following command:

 sddm-greeter-qt6 --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze 

Reinstalling breeze does not solve the issue. Is there an easy way to make sddm display the updated (Plasma 6) breeze image? Thank you.

Same for me, it probably isn't in the package (minor bug) so if you really want it or a different, image you'll just have to download one.

Go into System Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM)
There is a change background button on each theme.

What owns that file?

$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/5120x2880.png

The breeze package does contain a couple of files by that name, but neither are in the path you specified:

$ pacman -F 5120x2880.png
extra/breeze 6.0.2-3 (plasma) [installed]
    usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/5120x2880.png

This is what I have:

[cribari@rao ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/5120x2880.png
error: No package owns /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/5120x2880.png

Re: [SOLVED] sddm image not updated after upgrade to Plasma 6

[SOLVED] Removing theme.conf.user and 5120x2880.png from /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze solved the issue. Thank you.
