Bug ID: 501973
Summary: Session Restore fails to restore Snap-apps on X11
(with manual fix for restoring manually saved
sessions)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.12
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Session Management
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@mailbox.org
CC: natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Snap apps are not restored when restoring the session, regardless of using the
"restore last session" or "Restore manually saved session".
The problem seems to be related to a wrong path to the snap-bin written to
.config/ksmserverrc and the bug can be manually fixed (see below).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a Snap App (tested with Thunderbird, Obsidian and Firefox)
2. Either manually store the session and reboot, or reboot directly (depending
on restore setting)
3. Login
OBSERVED RESULT
Snap App (e.g. Thunderbird) is not opened again.
EXPECTED RESULT
Snap App is restored and opens at the desktop.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.12
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Manual fix:
Snap applications are saved to the Block "LegacySession" in
.config/.ksmserverrc, but the command saved is not working properly/as
intended. Manually changing the command to the correct path/to/bin (evaluated
by the which command) leads to the proper behaviour of the restore session, but
is conceptually only a solution for restoring manually saved sessions.
Detailed steps for manual fix:
1. Manually save the session as usual
2. Open .config/.ksmserverrc. It should contain something like this:
[LegacySession: saved by user]
clientMachine1=localhost
command1=thunderbird-esr
count=1
3. Correct command1 to actual path/to/bin, e.g.:
[LegacySession: saved by user]
clientMachine1=localhost
command1=/usr/bin/thunderbird
count=1
4. Save file and reboot -> Restore session now works.
