Ask your distro to rebuild everything with plasma-wayland-protocols 1.13. We forgot to bump the version requirement, oops.
I filed a bug with the plasma-workspace package on Arch, and received a response from maintainer Antonio Rojas: "No, upstream is wrong. It isn't even possible to build Plasma with older plasma-wayland-protocols" https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/plasma-workspace/-/issues/5#note_193861 I've reopened this issue accordingly. I learned how to read a backtrace, and completely resolved my issue! --> tl;dr it's my fault, my kwayland was out of date... <-- The long version: over a year ago, I experimented with KWinFT, which required installing the git version of kwayland from the AUR, kwayland-git. *-git packages are special, because the onus falls on users to rerun installation after a version bump. (The AUR makes wayyyyy more sense to me now. Bumps don't come from nowhere!) Fast-foward to the present, and I'm trying to find "wayland-plasma-window-management-client-protocol.h" from the backtrace. I attempt to build plasma-workspace for myself, and receive the error: `Could not find a configuration file for package "KWayland" that is compatible with requested version` Looking through the partially-completed build, I don't spot my desired file. So I double-check my installed kwayland version, and... yep! I've changed the title of this bug report. Original title: "Plasmashell immediately crashes on Wayland+NVIDIA" Here's the guide that taught me how to read a KCrash backtrace: http://floss.booktype.pro/kde/reading-backtraces/ |
