Description Jeffrey Walton 2022-10-02 19:10:15 UTC
Hi Everyone.

Thanks for a very nice port to Fedora 36. I really like Fedora and the KDE combo.

While gathering info for the 459922 issue report, I ran plasmashell over ssh to determine the version of plasma. It crashed when running over ssh:

$ plasmashell --version
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display 
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

The program runs fine on the local machine.

It seems like there should be more graceful handling over ssh than a crash with a core dump.
