SUMMARY
When Wayland is chosen during login, the Plasma crashes after showing the desktop for split second. The panel is shown then crashes. The panel tries to restart by its own, then crashes again. Other applications are responsive with ALT+F2. Tried kstart5 plasmashell but crashes again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot up KDE Neon 5.20.3. 
2. Choose Wayland in Login screen
3. Plasma crashes just after login

OBSERVED RESULT

Plasma crashes just after login with Wayland

EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma should not crash in wayland.
