Bug ID: 370528
Summary: Autostart, stderr is closed if daemonized (conky)
Product: ksmserver
Version: 5.8.0
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This seems to be related to the move of the autostart code from klauncher to
ksmserver.
Some programs expect a valid stderr (to send their errors to
~/.xsession-errors) even after daemonizing themselves.
Reports about this can be found:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=217920
https://bugs.debian.org/840478
Avoiding daemonization, or redirecting stderr solves the problem, but still
plasma 5.8 breaks backwards compatibility with these programs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install conky
2. Add an autostart desktop file ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop with:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/conky -d
Icon=system-run
Path=
Terminal=false
Type=application
3. Restart your session
Actual Results:
conky is not running
Expected Results:
conky is running
This worked fine with previous plasma versions.
