Bug ID: 494636
Summary: plasmashell --version may not work over ssh
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Running plasmashell --version seems to depend on graphics initialization
working, which can be an issue when running that command over SSH:
$ plasmashell --version
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the
Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it
was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: wayland-egl, wayland, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal,
minimalegl, offscreen, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, xcb.
Aborted
$
It would be nice if --version bypassed graphics initialization and if it just
printed the version even with no graphics available. The same problem seems to
exist for kwrite --version and konsole --version and systemsettings --version.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run plasmashell --version over SSH
OBSERVED RESULT
Depending on your SSH setup, the command may not work and complain about
lacking Wayland access.
EXPECTED RESULT
The plasma version is printed even over SSH.
