I have 20.04 with plasma 5.24. Is there a way to remove the blur effect on tyhe lock screen wallpaper/background?

20.04 with plasma 5.24.

??

Kubuntu 20.04 has Plasma 5.18. if you mean you are running KDE neon, there is a section for that distro


Anyway, I don't think this is possible without either trying different Plasma styles that may or may not have this built in , or editing some qml files:

---

Plasma Breeze LnF theme /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml has

WallpaperFader {
       anchors.fill: parent
       state: lockScreenRoot.uiVisible ? "on" : "off"
       source: wallpaper
      mainStack: mainStack
      footer: footer
     clock: clock
}

Adding there a line:

visible: false

(this begins with some edits for SDDM, the lockscreen part is below this)

I have not tested, but the file still exists in Plasma 5.24, and the edits are for 5.18 (Kubuntu 20.04), the code from then to now for this file looks pretty much identical.


Note that this is for the lock screen, the login screen (SDDM) is a completely different, separate thing altogether. I have no idea if the instruction in that post I linked to are still relevant for today's SDDM.

Apologies this is not my own system, and it's a Kubuntu 22.04 system not a 20.04 system, somehow I missed that. BUT ......

The solution described worked perfectly. I wouldn't have figured how to do that in a million years.

Many thanks!!
