Everything KDE from git master STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log out of git master Xorg Session 2. Log into git master Wayland session 3. Everything loads fine--including plasmashell--but I hit Bug 433460 4. Go to System Settings > KScreen KCM > Adjust scale to 175% and then back to 200% 5. Log out 6. Log back in At this point, plasmashell does not load. Trying to load it by hand reveals: nate@Liberator:~$ kstart5 plasmashell Omitting both --window and --windowclass arguments is not recommended nate@Liberator:~$ Aborting shell load: The activity manager daemon (kactivitymanagerd) is not running. If this Plasma has been installed into a custom prefix, verify that its D-Bus services dir is known to the system for the daemon to be activatable. All my other dbus-activatable stuff works, and I have done the following: sudo cp -r ~/kde/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/* /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/ sudo cp -r ~/kde/usr/share/dbus-1/ /usr/share/ If I manually execute ~/kde/usr/lib64/libexec/kactivitymanagerd, plasmashell immediately springs to life.
Marking as a dupe of the kglobalaccel issue, looks like the same root cause even if it's in another service *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 429426 ***
