I did this by masking the `plasma-kwin_x11.service` and using the following for bspwm: ``` [Install] WantedBy=plasma-workspace.target [Unit] Description=Plasma with BSPWM PartOf=graphical-session.target Before=plasma-workspace.target After=plasma-kcminit.service [Service] ExecStart=/run/current-system/sw/bin/bspwm Slice=session.slice Restart=on-failure ``` Everything works as expected, except that now I am unable to logout. This is the relevant entry I found in journal logs: ``` Sep 15 20:31:32 <username> plasma-shutdown[17290]: org.kde.plasma.shutdown: KWin failed to complete logout ``` I am guessing that the shutdown method is interrupted by the unnatural absence of KWin service. If the service is masked, the shutdown service should, imo, should continue smoothly. OBSERVED RESULT Unable to logout, presented with a blank screen and cursor, BSPWM is still active. plasma-shutdown is interrupted. EXPECTED RESULT Successful logout and be presented with login screen. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Nix os kernel 6.6.50 DE Plasma Version: Plasma 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2
Is there an alternative command I can use to logout instead, which will work regardless of the presence of kwin? The only way it works now is to kill the ksmwrapper from commandline each time. I can use a dmenu with options to logout and shutdown or reboot as well.
