Here is a weird one. How to reproduce:
- Boot Fedora 41 KDE spin.
- Wait until the sign in screen is shown.
- Do not sign in.
- From another computer: Launch Cursor/VScode and initiate a remote session with the Fedora 41 computer.
- Within Cursor, choose “Reopen in container” (this requires the folder to have a devcontainer setup).
- UNEXPECTED, launching the devcontainer fails with the following message:
[2025-02-01T22:08:35.572Z] Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting "/run/user/1000/wayland-0" to rootfs at "/tmp/vscode-wayland-8210348f-70e3-470c-84ea-d23197118fb9.sock": create mountpoint for /tmp/vscode-wayland-8210348f-70e3-470c-84ea-d23197118fb9.sock mount: cannot create subdirectories in "/var/lib/docker/overlay2/e890a989fd90b77edf569824625ea7377c08d12d4bd6d44c889622660bed4091/merged/tmp/vscode-wayland-8210348f-70e3-470c-84ea-d23197118fb9.sock": not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type
From now on, KDE is broken:
- Try to sign in into the Fedora 41 computer by entering your username and password.
- UNEXPECTED: KDE won’t load. The login screen will reload instead.
In this state, trying to launch plasmashell within the SSH session will show the following error message:
$ plasmashell
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: wayland-egl, wayland, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, xcb.
Aborted (core dumped)
The only way to restore it that I found is to run sudo dnf reinstall qt6-qtbase-gui xcb-util-cursor and rebooting.
Nothing of the above happens if I sign in into KDE before trying to launch the devcontainer. Everything works as expected if I do that.
