Hi,
I just upgraded to 4.10 and my activity switcher script does not work anymore. I used to do the following (worked in 4.9 and before):

to get the IDs for my activities

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager ListActivities

to go to a specific activity:

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager SetCurrentActivity <Activity-ID>

Now both seem to be gone, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager ListActivities
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod
No such method 'ListActivities' in any interface at object path '/ActivityManager' (signature '')

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/plasma_desktop invokeShortcut "Next Activity"

still works, but that's not what I want, I want to go to a specific activity.

This makes 4.10 useless for me unless I figure out a new command that makes me go to a specific activity via terminal command! Please, can anyone help?

Just to make it clear, I know about the other (graphical/by klicking/widget/whatever) ways of switching activities, but as I said, that's not what I want. I want to use shell commands, so I can invoke them by mouse gestures, desktop icons and in bash scripts. Thanks for any help in advance!

The API you are trying to use appears to have been moved to /ActivityManager/Activities in the D-Bus interface.

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager/Activities ListActivities
qdbus org.kde.kactivitymanagerd /ActivityManager/Activities SetCurrentActivity <activity-id>

Thanks a billion!

Problem solved
