Summary: Workspace Activities Not Working without First
Restarting plasmashell
Classification: Plasma
Product: kactivitymanagerd
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
I have two activities I use. One is for all my main computing, the other
reduces power usage for night time idle. Blank black background, monitors are
turned off after one minute, etc...
I have to use this workaround if I want activities to work as they are supposed
to.
Every time I boot I wait until the machine has finished booting, HDD access
light is not blinking anymore. Then I run from a terminal;
killall plasmashell
wait a couple seconds then
nohup kstart5 plasmashell >/dev/null 2>&1 &
Once I see my taskbar has popped back up I scroll on my desktop to ensure
activities rolls between the two activities I have configured.
After completing this I can then use my computer like normal and when I'm going
to bed, I just switch activities via meta+tab. My displays shut off as
configured in the second activity and all is good.
If I vary in this workaround at all, I have to reboot, killing plasmashell will
not fix it.
I have tried deleting and remaking the activities, from both this user profile
and new ones and the result is always the same. It works properly once and
then after that I have to use my workaround.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot PC
2. Don't kill plasmashell
3. Activities don't work.
OBSERVED RESULT
Activities do not work, you see the switcher bar appear but nothing happens.
No activity settings are applied. The desktop is not changed. All windows
remain where they are.
EXPECTED RESULT
Activities should work as expected without having to first kill plasmashell,
then start it again, then roll through the activities.
