Bug ID: 505962
Summary: startplasma-wayland requires DISPLAY to be set
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.0
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bizy...@pm.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
```
$ /usr/libexec/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
...
Error: could not determine $DISPLAY.
Error: Can not contact kdeinit5!
org.kde.startup: "kdeinit5_shutdown" QList exited with code 255
startplasma-wayland: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Done.
```
This is unexpected behavior: DISPLAY is indeed not set in a TTY, but it
shouldn't be a hard requirement to starting a Wayland session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to a TTY.
2. Execute the command above.
