Bug ID: 463029
Summary: kwin_wayland and su - or: how to point
$WAYLAND_DISPLAY to another location as the default?
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.26.4
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andihartm...@freenet.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
To be able to run wayland apps in another user context (after su e.g.), the app
needs access to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY.
To achieve access to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY for the su user, the
directory rights of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR must be changed to group rx to get access
to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY for the su user (using chmod or setfacl).
If you do this, the log is spammed with entries like this:
[krunner|kioslave5|dolphin|plsamashell|ksmserver|kded|..] QStandardPaths: wrong
permissions on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 0750 instead of 0700
Setting a different $WAYLAND_DISPLAY like /tmp/${USER}_WAYLAND (in
/etc/profile.d/) does not work, because plasma wayland session afterwards won't
start at all (through sddm e.g.):
(from /.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: could not determine $DISPLAY.
Error: Can not contact kdeinit5!
org.kde.startup: "kdeinit5_shutdown" () exited with code 255
startplasma-wayland: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How is it supposed to run wayland apps as another user without spamming the log
files?
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/tmp/${USER}_wayland in /etc/profile.d/wayland.sh
2. Start wayland session in sddm for the primary user
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Wayland session doesn't start.
EXPECTED RESULT
Wayland session should start using wayland display /tmp/${USER}_wayland instead
of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY.
