Fixed this. Mostly by myself, but Opus 4.6 helped me wrap my head around it and get to the finish line.
The issue was that I have a nightMode script that changes themes for Konsole/Themes/Icons at sunset/sunrise.
I've been running this for years w/o issue altho it took a while to configure due to X11 quirks. About a year into Debian 12, I switched to Wayland and the script ran even smoother. I had amassed some variables I was passing through to make the script work:
Code:
Environment=QT_QPA_PLATFORM=waylandEnvironment=WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0Environment=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000Something about these variables suddenly started interfering w/ my setup. From the sound of things, I was inserting new Wayland vars into an env where these vars already existed, and this led to a conflict which broke systemd functionality across various areas.
Commenting out the variables resolved the issue
