I used to be able to use Wayland on Plasma5, ever since updating to plasma 6 I am unable to start KDE in the wayland session. Ive confirmed the issue under multiple user accounts. It seems to freeze and I have to switch to a different console to get back to the login screen and it seems to hang for a long time getting there. This is running on a gaming PC with an Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU.
I got some log data from plasmashell and not sure what to make if it.
Thanks in advance!
Can you clarify further here? Are these existing user accounts that you tried? If so, please create a new ‘test’ user using ‘useradd’ at runlevel 3. Then try to start Plasma Wayland from a VT when logged in as that user…
dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland > wayland.log 2>&1
Does that succeed? If not, review the log file for errors.
so I did this and it still fails, the log seems to indicate missing packages, perhaps a mishmash of plasma5 and 6 applications conflicting in the
wayland session

org.kde.knotifications: WaitForName: Service was not registered within timeout
Not sure what to make of this, given that you say Xorg is working. From a VT, what is reported by the following?
inxi -GSa
ls -la /dev/dri/*
sudo zypper ve
Ok, /dev/dri/* missing the card device will be due to nvidia_drm not loaded at the multi-user.target (init 3) state perhaps? I don’t have NVIDIA hardware to test with. What is shown by lsmod?
lsmod |grep nvidia
Does unloading and reloading nvidia_drm by hand make a difference?
sudo rmmod nvidia_drm && sudo modprobe nvidia_drm
Not sure if this is relevant in some way?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA#DRM_kernel_mode_setting
Hopefully, others can chime in to help progress this.
Ok, and if you unload/reload the driver as explained previously, then check
`ls -la /dev/dri/*’ again?
If that checks out, attempt to start Plasma Wayland (as test user)…does it succeed?
If there is only one Nvidia gpu, the remove then nosimplefb=1 and add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 instead…
Yes, the inxi output suggests that is the case.
So Im not a Linux noob, but I am confused how to do this because the system boots to console and I have to manually modprobe the nvidia driver and the system boots into Gnome straight away, if I logout of Gnome and select kde plasma Xorg form the login screen plasma loads ok, if I switch to a different console and try to unload the driver it says in use. If I try to switch to runlvel3 by using the command systemctl isolate runlevel3.target I see this error
@localhost:~> systemctl isolate runlevel3.target
Failed to start runlevel3.target: Operation refused, unit may not be isolated.
See system logs and ‘systemctl status runlevel3.target’ for details.
Not sure if its related but when the system is loading between screens, i see these repeating ACPI errors apparently coming from the kernel “already exists bios bug” with pci addresses and some other info which I think is coming from the wifi driver but not sure. Ill post an image when I can.
Can you try adding the grub boot entries?
Edit /etc/default/grub (or via YaST), and when done do
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Yeah I just went and did that on my own lol , Its been several years since I had to edit that file.
After editing this I ran the command and it was successful, still cant load plasma in wayland tho with the test user.
So the system freezes loading KDE in Wayland, it also freezes when changing runlevels, Im thinking its about time for a OSRI. Its crazy its flawless in plasma6 / Xorg, I can run any application, play any game in standard or VR mode on steamVR, no issues at all, but have all these other issues.
Are you getting the same errors? A bug report might be needed.
Hi, since last Tumblweed update i have a similar problem.
I detected sddm is producing a crash in the system. So i started the system in init 3 (editing grub witn a 3 at the end of the init command) and ran:
‘update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager’ as root and chosing xdm als default display manager.
With gdm did not work, with gdm black screen as well, with sddm, after a crash, i could logon form terminal and start the X-session with startx.
As I said, for me now the system works with xdm als presentation-logon screen.
Waiting for a fix.
Best regads, hopefuly it helps
