Bug ID: 433333
Summary: Enabling systemdBoot breaks 'startkde'
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ferenos...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: 1.0

xsession-errors
SUMMARY
Enabling systemdBoot via 'kwriteconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key
systemdBoot true' completely breaks startplasma-x11 with a 'startkde' error
occuring every time you log in from that point onwards until you disable
systemdBoot.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run 'writeconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot true'
2. Log out
3. Log in again
OBSERVED RESULT
startkde: Could not start Plasma session. appears in an X11 dialog, closing
that logs you out. KWin and co. don't start.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Desktop works fine.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.21.0
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No useful information in the .xsession-errors file, except for the message in
the X11 dialog.
Running it via manual startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 causes it to yield the
same 'startkde: Starting up...' and 'startkde: Could not start Plasma session.'
output as in the .xsession-errors log.
The plasma-plasmashell.service service seems to be disabled but enabling it
does nothing to change the situation.
Furthermore, systemctl --user status plasma-plasmashell.service shows that it
never attempted to run the service.
Disabling systemdBoot in the config file resolves the issue.
