Message #5 received at submit@bugs.devuan.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Package: plasma-workspace
Version: 4:5.20.5-6
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: void@rittich.net
Starting a program with KRunner used to start the program with the
working directory set to the user's home directory. In Chimaera KRunner
now starts programs with the working directory set to the root of the
filesystem. This behavior is problematic for the following reasons.
Starting a terminal emulator, e.g., Konsole in the file system root also
launches the shell in the file system root. Which usually means that the
user has to type "cd ~" to get to the directory of interest.
Starting a graphical application (like Kate) in the file system root
often means that file open and file save dialogs open in the file system
root directory, which is usually not the place where the user stores
their files.
To reproduce the behavior:
1. Start KDE.
2. Open KRunner, either by pressing Meta+Space or right clicking on
the desktop and selecting "Show KRunner".
3. Start a program, e.g., by entering "konsole" or "kate".

Thanks for this.
However, neither plasma-workspace nor any other KDE pacakges are forked in
Devuan and we use Debian's packages directly and without recompilation.
Please could you report this issue directly to Debian's BTS?
Thanks
Mark

Hi,
I just installed a fresh version of Debian Bullseye. The problem is not
present in Debian. Should still report this to Debian's bug tracker?

What init is your bullseye install using? You might need to use something other
than systemd.
If even then it is still not present on the clean bullseye sysvinit install, I
suspect a configuration change on the Devuan system. AFAIK all the relevant
packages are the same between chimaera and bullseye.

it seems that I cannot change the init system on Bullseye to reproduce
the error, because if I try to install sysvinit-core, apt wants to
remove the plasma-workspace package.
Is there something I can try, to reproduce the problem on Debian? Shall
I still report to Debian's BTS while stating it can only be reproduced
on Devuan?
I have done some further investigation. If you start krunner on
Bullseye, the krunner process is owned by "/lib/systemd/systemd --user"
and the working directory is my home directory. On Chimaera, krunner is
owned by init and the working directory is the file-system root.
As a workaround I have created a wrapper script, which launches krunner
in the user's home directory. Executing the following fixes the problem.
mv /usr/bin/krunner /usr/bin/krunner.orig
cat > /usr/bin/krunner << EOS
#!/bin/sh
cd "\$HOME"
exec /usr/bin/krunner.orig "$@"
EOS
chmod a+x /usr/bin/krunner
(Note, to reproduce the error, I have also installed a fresh version of
Chimaera into a VM.)

Yes, switching init in Debian is difficult. However, if you persist, it should
work out -- you will be able to reinstall plasma-workspace on top of
libpam-elogind once systemd is removed.

Great, that explains it. So the bug is present on non-systemd systems (Debian or
Devuan) and it will be present in bullseye with sysvinit. systemd --user hides
it or works around it.
Thanks for investigating more.

Ahhh... I managed to reproduce the behavior on Bullseye as well. Thanks
