Description Michael Pyne 2018-03-31 21:23:26 UTC

Per Allan Sandfeld Jensen, there is some kind of DBus configuration for KScreen that is required to make it work.  Normally packagers handle this for distributions.

For those using kdesrc-build to compile their own KDE, this step needs to be replicated somehow.  kscreen doesn't do this (presumably since it's a distro task?).  kdesrc-build could do it.  Maybe kdesrc-build /should/ do it?

Or maybe instead it should be a separate module dedicated to just these two files (workspace-dbus-support?), which kdesrc-build could then install as root?

Closing as I believe this has been better addressed by updates to the KDE Community wiki instructions on setting up the development environment for Plasma.
