This is caused by stale processes blocking SDDM. It's fixed in Plasma 6. |
Even though I'm able to successfully switch from Wayland to X11, switching from X11 back to Wayland however requires a reboot otherwise the set SDDM causes the screen to go completely black which then requires me to force me to shutdown my laptop in order to reboot it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. From with KDE's Application Launcher, click on "Leave", then click on "Log Out". 2. From within the SDDM that appears, click on "Desktop session" to the bottom-left, then click on "Wayland". OBSERVED RESULT: Setting the desktop session from X11 to Wayland produces a black screen. EXPECTED RESULT: Setting the desktop session from X11 to Wayland should bring up the Linux desktop.
