Logs and debug output for kglobalaccel issue (strace + env setup)
After upgrading to Plasma 6 (currently 6.4.3 on Arch Linux), the KDE Global
Shortcuts server (`kglobalaccel`) does not work under my main user account.
Observed Behavior:
- `plasma-kglobalaccel.service` shows as inactive (dead) immediately after
starting, even though it returns `SUCCESS`.
- Global shortcuts do not function at all (e.g., volume keys, meta shortcuts,
etc.).
- No `kglobalaccel` process stays alive.
- Starting manually with `/usr/lib/kglobalacceld --replace --nofork` exits
silently with no visible effect.
- Logs show no errors, even under debugging environment.
- `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` and related configs appear valid and were
tested by copying from a working user.
Troubleshooting Attempts:
- Confirmed DBus address and environment are set correctly.
- Compared working state with a new user account: new user has working
`kglobalaccel`.
- No `~/.local/share/kglobalaccel/` exists for either account.
- Tried full reset of Plasma config (`~/.config/` files like `plasmarc`,
`kdeglobals`, etc.) — issue persists.
- Verified wallpaper and visual settings restored; panel restored manually.
- Verified with `systemctl --user status plasma-kglobalaccel.service` that it
is always inactive (dead).
- Performed `strace` and captured session logs (see attachments).
- The problem is fully reproducible every login under the main user.
### Versions:
- plasmashell: `6.4.3`
- kded6: `6.16.0`
- Arch Linux kernel: `6.15.7-arch1-1`
Attachments:
I have attached a `.tar.gz` archive containing:
- `kglobalaccel_strace.txt` (strace log of attempted manual start)
- `debug_env.sh` (debug environment attempt)
Let me know if further logs or a screencast would help. Thank you for your work
on KDE!
