I am completely unable to launch plasma in wayland, and I am completely lost at this point.

Steps I have tried:
1. Specify `QT_QPA_PLUGIN="xcb;wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa"` in `/etc/environment`
2. Reinstall `qtwayland5`, `qt6-wayland`
3. Install every possible platform plugin for qt (which is probably how I ended up with wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa)
4. Reinstall kwin

Nothing seems to work. However, upon specifying `QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1` in `/etc/environment`, I found this:
```

```
Whatever it is, the issue seems to be wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa. I can't find the package that this is from, so I was curious if anyone could lend a hand.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kubuntu 23.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10
Kernel: 6.5.0-14-generic (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
<!!!> I also have the KDE Backports PPA, which allows me to keep my KDE suite up to date. I suspect this may be a reason I am having this problem, and should probably create a fresh install come Plasma 6.

This is an installation problem

> 1. Specify `QT_QPA_PLUGIN="xcb;wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa"` in `/etc/environment`

Not necessarily related to the problem, but don't do that

Comment 2 PRIZ ;] 2024-01-11 21:19:47 UTC

I see you marked this ticket as resolved.

I'll go ahead and delete that line, and Plasma 6 should just work as soon as I update, correct?
