Description Dmitry Alexandrov 2021-10-25 12:31:09 UTC 
## Steps to reproduce

· Open KRunner,
· type `wm console`,
· accept the suggested “Plasma Desktop Shell | Open KWin debug console”.

## Expected result

Console is opened.

## Observed result

Nothing happens: no success, no error.

## Cause

The appropriate D-Bus method is absent:

	$ qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.showInteractiveKWinConsole
	Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod
	No such method 'showInteractiveKWinConsole' in interface 'org.kde.PlasmaShell' at object path '/PlasmaShell' (signature '')

## Workaround

The console is available as `/usr/bin/plasma-interactiveconsole`, which does not seem to be documented anywhere.

All the above applies to ‘desktop console’ as well.
