All you need is to set up the environment in your shell on tty3 to reflect how it's set up in the affected Plasma session. Just pick a random process from from the affected session and inspect its /proc/PID/environ: tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/PID/environ | less Then just "export" all the relevant variables in your tty3 shell. With some luck, just DISPLAY and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS will do, if not, you'll have to add some of the XDG_ or KDE_ ones as well. Then just run "plasmashell" and that should be it. If all you need is to log off the running session cleanly, you don't even have to bother spawning Plasma again. Instead, just ask the session manager to log off (which is exactly what the button in the Plasma menu would have done for you): qdbus-qt5 org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 0 2 0 The three integers are arguments to KWorkSpace::requestShutDown(). The first one "0" means "Don't ask for confirmation", the second "2" means "Force shutdown immediately" (doesn't really matter here) and the last "0" means "only log out". A value of "1" for the last parameter would have meant "reboot machine", "2" means power off. 2T _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
