That is strange it works for me. Though the behavior of the server is not consistent. Sometimes the server when a client connects to it will popup a dialog asking for permission for remote access, sometimes it just works without the interactive user having to allow. I agree access to the logs from the ui to figure out any problems would rock +1 for sure. Sorry not much help but for the server logs can you try running: journalctl --user-unit=plasma-krdp_server I think that should produce the logs you are looking for. 2405605 2 putr4.s 2025-03-07 06:07:46 +0000 I'm also running into this issue with Plasma 6.3.2 on Arch Linux, and I'm quite sure the GUI toggle worked just fine in either 6.1.x or 6.2.x before. If I monitor the output of "journalctl -f" the only message I get is "Toggling KRDP server to true over QDBus" and nothing else actually happens. That said, it looks like running "systemctl --user enable app-org.kde.krdpserver.service" is enough to make the GUI switch to turn on/off KRdp work for me, but turning on autostart from the GUI or the aforementioned systemctl command doesn't work with the error message "job deleted to avoid ordering cycle" from systemd. 2408676 3 putr4.s 2025-03-18 03:47:21 +0000 Oh, turns out the issue I was running into is actually https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500017, which is now fixed with KDE Plasma 6.3.3. 2415528 4 john 2025-04-13 05:00:16 +0000 For the bug reporter - could you please double-check if you are still experiencing the issue on Plasma 6.3.3 or later? (Thanks Prajna for the reference to that!) 2416149 5 miso 2025-04-15 17:12:55 +0000 Can confirm this behaviour on plasma 6.3.4 Using latest openSUSE Tumbleweed and turning checkbox "Enable RDP Server" do nothing. systemctl --user status app-org.kde.krdpserver.service ○ app-org.kde.krdpserver.service - KRDP Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/app-org.kde.krdpserver.service; disabled; preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) 2416152 6 miso 2025-04-15 17:22:57 +0000 If the checkbox "Autostart on login" is enabled, it works, otherwise it doesn't work. 2438742 7 ilia-kats 2025-07-05 16:32:41 +0000 I think this is because the systemd unit file got renamed from plasma-krdp_server.service to app-org.kde.krdpserver.service, but the corresponding code in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp/-/blob/master/src/kcm/kcmkrdpserver.cpp?ref_type=heads#L33 was not changed. 2448558 8 nate 2025-08-19 13:45:28 +0000 Git commit 011198c63c1e23d3ce71166a62ca4be1a804d4c6 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Arnav Rawat. Committed on 19/08/2025 at 13:45. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Change name of service used The alias in the service spec isn't actually used, since the server is almost never going to be enabled: "Unit files may specify aliases through the Alias= directive in the [Install] section. When the unit is enabled, symlinks will be created for those names, and removed when the unit is disabled." So just use the actual service name; there are no other consumers of the alias (wouldn't have been able to use it anyways) Fixes turning on the server from systemsettings FIXED-IN: 6.5.0 M +1 -1 server/SessionController.cpp M +0 -1 server/app-org.kde.krdpserver.service.in M +1 -1 src/kcm/kcmkrdpserver.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/krdp/-/commit/011198c63c1e23d3ce71166a62ca4be1a804d4c6
