Description ratijas 2022-11-22 13:49:30 UTC

SUMMARY

Night Color mode can't be toggled after KWin crash (or restart) until Plasma shell is also restarted.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Night Color effect in System Settings, and turn it on. An icon should appear in system tray.
2. Crash KWin (it's easier than you think), or if you are not up to playing villain's role just restart it via systemctl.
3. Night Color Control applet's tooltip now says "Night Control is unavailable". Clicking it does nothing.
4. Restart plasmashell process.
5. Observe that applet is active and once again works as expected.

Can reproduce the issue with plain Rust & dbus-rs code. Trying to GetAll as soon as QDBusServiceWatcher::serviceRegistered happens results in this:

Error: D-Bus error: No such object path '/ColorCorrect' (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject)

Basically, ColorCorrect is not yet initialized at the time of query. But if I add 0,5 second sleep, then it works.
