krunner is starting applications with cwd "/" instead of "~", confirmed on several systems to be fixed after reverting 0e575a20. This is what I did for the Gentoo package. See also downstream link. Filing a seperate bug as requested in bug 416145#c49. This is still reproducible in Plasma 5.21.0 and Frameworks 5.79.0.
Just a quick status update that I need to continue to revert this in 5.21.5.
Please include output of: qdbus org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.Environment cat /proc/`pidof krunner`/environ | tr '\0' '\n'
Hi, it is not fixed in Gentoo in plasma-5.22.0 which does not apply the downstream patch. Another user tested the old downstream patch without success. I'll try again when plasma-5.22.1 is in our repos and report back. Gentoo supports systemd and openrc as init systems. As I run openrc the qdbus call fails with "Service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' does not exist."

It is still not fixed in Plasma-5.22.2, still same behavior.
Behaviour is unchanged in plasma-5.22.3, no change so far.
Felix, when there is going to be a commit tackling this bug, then it will likely be mentioned here.
I am not in a position to continue reverting problematic changes related to this bug, so this will be a known defect with stable >=5.22.5 for non-systemd users going forward.
To the people who pasted environment variables above, where did you get them? Just typing env in a konsole?
(In reply to David Edmundson from comment #9) > To the people who pasted environment variables above, where did you get > them? > > Just typing env in a konsole? No, executing the command you listed in comment #2: cat /proc/`pidof krunner`/environ | tr '\0' '\n'
Hi! What is the status of this bug? I found: …proc# ls -ld $(pidof krunner)/cwd lrwxrwxrwx 1 USER USER 0 10. Feb 14:26 15116/cwd -> / …proc# ls -ld $(pidof plasmashell)/cwd lrwxrwxrwx 1 USER USER 0 10. Feb 14:27 9191/cwd -> /home/USER on my system. However PWD and OLDPWD is set properly: % cat /proc/`pidof krunner`/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep PWD PWD=/home/USER OLDPWD=/home/USER This is with Devuan Ceres with Runit and Elogind. Using X11 still. I can try wayland as well. /bin/sh is pointing to dash. User shell is either Z-Shell or Bash, happens with both. I wonder whether that issue may also affect FreeBSD users. According to pstree krunner's parent process is runit which of course has current working directory pointing to /. I am puzzled on why that is. Surely it must have been some other process that started krunner? Plasmashell instead is going like this ├─runsv(2066)─┬─sddm(2116)─┬ ─sddm-helper(8989)───startplasma-x11(8994)─┬─plasma_session(9056)─┬ Any other information needed?
It is not nice, but it appears to work as a work-around: % ~/.config/autostart> cat krunner.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment[de_DE]= Comment= Exec=/usr/bin/krunner --daemon --replace GenericName[de_DE]= GenericName= Icon= MimeType= Name[de_DE]=krunner Name=krunner Path= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= I added this via the autostart manager.
I think I tracked this down a bit further. Without % cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.krunner.service [D-BUS Service] Name=org.kde.krunner Exec=/usr/bin/krunner SystemdService=plasma-krunner.service (file is from package plasma-workspace) KRunner is not started at all (of course also without the autostart desktop file workaround I mentioned in my last comment). Also I can at least confirm that the current working directory of kwalletd and kiod5 is also /. I bet those are started by the corresponding service files in /usr/share/dbus-1/services. So it appears to me that this has something do to with how dbus-x11 is handling DBUS services. What also points at this that the issue does not happen with a Wayland session. I am confirming with a member of the Debian other init team. If he agrees for starters I'd file a bug report with Debian. But I can also look to file an upstream bug report. I will keep you updated.
I reported this downstream as dbus-x11: Several processes in Plasma session including krunner have / as current working directory https://bugs.debian.org/1032368 Trying to report with Devuan as well, but their mail server is running into a timeout. Will post link once I am able to report the bug.
Now for Devuan: dbus-x11: Several processes in Plasma session including krunner have / as current working directory https://bugs.devuan.org/745
Current conclusion is that the current working directory of processes started via traditional DBUS activation is not guaranteed to be $HOME and it would be risky to change it¹. So the suggestion would be to explicitly set the current working directory to $HOME for anything in KDE that requires this for correct operation². Especially as there are no reports of something like this happening with other current desktop environments³. This would be KRunner and I think also the "export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1" KDE file dialog. And maybe others from: % dpkg -L plasma-workspace | grep dbus-1/services/org /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.KSplash.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.LogoutPrompt.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.Shutdown.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.fontinst.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.krunner.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.runners.baloo.service (Of course some of those may not care about current working directory being "/" and thus should likely not be changed.) Would you be willing to make such a change? Please review linked sources for detailed explanation and justification for that conclusion. [1] See dbus-x11: Several processes in Plasma session including krunner have / as current working directory: https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=745#29 (and previous comment by Simon) also see proposed upstream patch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/issues/214 [2] See dbus-x11: Several processes in Plasma session including krunner have / as current working directory: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1032368#15 [3] Well this is not entirely correct, but I am at least not aware of any more recent reports. See proposed upstream patch Drop chdir("/") in dbus-launch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/issues/214
Wow, 3 years to change cwd in krunner. FreeBSD user here. I start konsole with krunner. Having to type "cd" every time is annoying. I almost never want to start my shell in /
