Plasma-kglobalaccel.service inactive(dead) after update

Started after an update roughly 1 month ago

This makes all global hotkeys stop working under X11, forcing me to use Wayland to have an acceptably functioning system, but wayland is not working well with my setup (flickering monitor issues) so i would really like to move back to X11.

Journalctl shows several services trying and failing to start kglobalaccel with the error: Couldn’t start kglobalaccel from org.kde.kglobalaccel.service: QDBusError(“org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown”, “The name is not activatable”)

If i try and run /usr/lib/kglobalacceld directly it exits immediately without printing any errors, and exit code 0

Hello, and welcome to the community :enos_flag:

This is most likely caused by the service not being activatable via dbus or desktop portal not running correctly within an X11 session.

Can you post the output of

systemctl status --user plasma-kglobalaccel.service --no-pager -l

systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal --no-pager -l

and

busctl status --user org.kde.kglobalaccel --no-pager -l

while in the X11 session?
