Comment 1 David Edmundson 2026-01-02 10:17:50 UTC
Can you run: 

qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.ListActivities

and paste output

qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.NextActivity

and see if it switches

also provide output of ` journalctl --user -u -r plasma-kactivitymanagerd.service`

after making these calls
Comment 2 Octavian Petre 2026-01-02 10:20:47 UTC
I need to use qdbus6

qdbus6 org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.ListActivities 
0a725dea-b7d6-456f-aad9-c0fdbf8a9269
064b1cdb-c4c3-43a2-a6f8-fc5833acda00


qdbus6 org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.NextActivity
does switch to back and forth between activities

I do not have journalctl coomand
