KDE 6 + Wayland : it works or not ?

[Mario Marietto]

# nano kde6 :

#!/bin/sh
export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
# export QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=xdg-shell
export WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
# export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

ck-launch-session dbus-run-session truss /usr/local/bin/startplasma-wayland
>& /memory/startplasma.log

I get this error :

./kde6: 7: Syntax error: Bad fd number
