Bug ID: 508477
Summary: KRDP service is autostarted by default, contradicting
what the KCM says
Classification: Plasma
Product: KRdp
Version First 6.4.80
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: nate at kde.org
CC: ahiemstra at heimr.nl
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Don't manually turn on autostart in the KRDP KCM
2. Restart computer
OBSERVED RESULT
The KRDP service autostarts:
$ systemctl status --user app-org.kde.krdpserver.service
○ app-org.kde.krdpserver.service - KRDP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/app-org.kde.krdpserver.service;
enabled; preset: enable>
Active: inactive (dead) since Tue 2025-08-19 07:38:25 MDT; 1h 6min ago
Duration: 2.519s
Invocation: 5682b3bc841f4319b111d943adccd341
Process: 4579 ExecStart=/usr/bin/krdpserver (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 4579 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Mem peak: 36.9M
CPU: 208ms
Aug 19 07:38:22 engine systemd[1323]: Starting
app-org.kde.krdpserver.service...
Aug 19 07:38:22 engine systemd[1323]: Started app-org.kde.krdpserver.service.
EXPECTED RESULT
It doesn't autostart.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is because Systemd enables it by default if not told otherwise. From
https://systemd.io/PRESET/:
> If no policy exists the default implied policy of “enable everything” is enforced, i.e. in Debian style.
And indeed:
$ systemctl --user list-unit-files | grep krdp
app-org.kde.krdpserver.service enabled enabled
