KDE-applications misbehave unless launched with dbus-launch #4481

Closed daanjderuiter closed 5 years ago

daanjderuiter commented 5 years ago

I am aware that this is something that Sway is not at all responsible for, but it ís the only environment where I have experienced this issue. I hope some of you nevertheless have some advice how I might solve this issue, thanks for hearing me out. I have used Plasma for a while before using Sway, and although I switched away from their WM, I did continue to use some of their utilities. Two of these are KDEConnect and Dolphin. The issue under Sway is that they will exhibit the wrong behaviour; KDEConnect just fails outright:

$ kdeconnect-cli -l
error activating kdeconnectd: QDBusError("", "")
error: Process org.kde.kdeconnect received signal 6

Graphical interfaces to KDEConnect show similar errors. This behaviour is fixed when the application is launched explicitly with dbus-launch. Similarly, Dolphin cannot access its wallet for remote share credentials without dbus-launch and fails to connect me to shares that I need to access. I don't really feel like creating a huge pile of custom desktop files to cope with this, so I was wondering if there might exist a better workaround for this issue, especially since this is an issue that I didn't experience in other WMs (including i3). I am running Sway 1.1.1-3, though I have been experiencing this issue for a while now.

(Closing since this isn't a sway bug)

FWIW, I run export $(dbus-launch) before sway in my sway launch script. I hope that helps you?
