after asking in #devuan @ liberachat and digging a little bit of history I could find such logs at ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log

KWin scripting tutorial specifies¹ that script output can only be viewed in journal like so

journalctl -f QT_CATEGORY=js QT_CATEGORY=kwin_scripting

My understanding is that journalctl does not come in devuan. How could I get the log output in this case?

Thanks 🙏🏾

it seems that chsh -s /bin/zsh-ing was the culprit. I've added the following line to my ~/.zprofile per this comment (after reading this discussion) and now everything seems to be working

emulate sh -c 'source /etc/profile'

hey, sup yall... using a mostly-recent net-install of Daedalus with KDE Plasma desktop here

I recently installed flatpak and was missing application icons in Plasma menu (the one that pops up when you press super/win key).

I noticed while running flatpak that it noticed that it complained that XDG_DATA_DIRS wasn't set. Looking around for values I added the following line to to my ~/.zprofile (I use TERM=zsh, by the way)

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS

This would eventually add icons to Plasma menu, but it messes up plasma-wayland real bad. plasma-wayland.desktop wouldn't start or would start "without KWin" (I could see some borderless application windows, no background…). I didn't notice that changing my profile script with the line above would mess up plasma-wayland, so I had to switch to plasma.desktop (using X) and began trying different stuff to get back to wayland. I tried switching sddm→lightdm, debugging each desktop manager, no dice.

For the time being, I removed this magical line, but I'm back to not seeing the icons in plasma menu.

What can/should I do to have flatpak icons and keep using plasma-wayland.desktop?

debian wiki page for PipeWire  and PipeWire repo install instructions both list instructions for a system install and usage with systemd.

Any pointers on installing PipeWire (replacing pulseaudio) on Chimaera? Hopefully a backport from Daedalus as Debian wiki points out that Debian 12 " has vastly improved compatibility and reliability, and is also much easier to configure as a replacement"

thx

oh, I just noticed this guide
