Non-root testing #3

Open jklmnn opened 1 year ago

jklmnn commented 1 year ago

Is there a way to run the plasmoid without the need to install it as root (or more generally on the host system). IIUC the plasmoidviewer is intended to run it in a separate environment. So it would surprise me if there was no way to run it as root.

Hi @jklmnn,

I have tried to run it in a non-root environment (I think i tried installing it to .local/share). From a build perspective it worked but the environment was never able to load/lookup the QML plugin. If you figure out a way get it running without root rights feel free to tell me.

For me this is just a PoC and therefore it is "good enough" as a starting point.

That's fine, thanks for trying! I'd suggest to keep this issue open so other people know we at least tried and maybe someone else knows a solution.
