Description Martin Sandsmark 2021-03-04 18:20:04 UTC

Running multiple user sessions on the same X session, and it seems like kiod isn't using kdeinit anymore.

So whenever something wants to use e. g. kpasswdserver it tries to start kiod with dbus activation and starts crashlooping.

dbus-daemon[111214]: [session uid=1001 pid=111212] Activating service name='org.kde.kpasswdserver' requested by ':1.136' (uid=1001 pid=336356 comm="sftp.so [kdeinit5] sftp local:/tmp/runtime-testuser/foo")
kiod5[337539]: qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display thulcandra:10.0
kiod5[337539]: qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
kiod5[337539]: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. [...]
systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 337540/UID 0).
systemd-coredump[337543]: [🡕] Process 337539 (kiod5) of user 1001 dumped core.


Is there a way to force stuff back to using kdeinit? My disk is filling up with coredumps and the journal is getting unusable...

Can you attach an example crashlog?
