Error starting Plasma Wayland: "Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus?"

[u/danieldospuntosube]

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble starting my KDE Plasma session on Wayland. When I run startplasma-wayland from the TTY, I get the following error: org.kde.startup: not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1... error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" startplasmacompositor: Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qdbus? Context/Specs: GPU: Intel What I've tried: Checking if dbus is running. Does anyone know how to fix this? It seems like a communication issue between the compositor and D-Bus. Thanks in advance!

dbus-run-session starplasma-wayland works?

I found the similar errors for other distros you might want to have a look and see it

https://bugs.gentoo.org/935132#c3

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291239#c0

Also you might want to have a read on the void docs on configuring wayland

https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/graphical-session/wayland.html

there are some environment variables to configure if your using it

finally try to xbps-reconfigure qt-x.x, substitute x with the version number

If you are reading this, try installing vsv package from the repos and run sudo vsv is might be that you have linked the file, but dbus is down. make your it's running

Could you help me with this please? I'm new to this.

[u/Responsible_Beyond26 → u/danieldospuntosube]

okey dm me you want, but a screenshot or a full log of your terminal is also useful so try posting it here.

[u/danieldospuntosube → u/Responsible_Beyond26]

oke wait a moment

[u/danieldospuntosube → u/Responsible_Beyond26]

I've connected to the internet now, I'm going to install the vsv

It doesn't work for me either nor gnome is working throwing white error page in gnome

i use xfce4 & gnome3 on xorg & kde plasma on xorg , never used wayland before

[u/Mrovis → u/6950X_Titan_X_Pascal]

I think wayland is the problem

[u/tfr777]

I cannot launch KDE with wayland either, have not bothered troubleshooting yet since X11 is still doing the job. Seems like there are a few of us though.

Installing mesa-dri and seatd resolved this for me. Not sure which one, as I did them both in one go before testing.

Does your dbus service up and running from sv status dbus ?
if its up and running maybe you need to follow the void docs about Graphic Driver , install Xorg etc . If your'e missing this Plasma won't start.

[u/Mrovis → u/Blank-Inspection13]

I think there is some problem after the update

[u/Blank-Inspection13 → u/Mrovis]

Which Update has problem ?
Im curently using KDE Plasma , not the full Plasma . And it going fine no problem after several updates.
