Description salvatore.cresce 2024-10-17 16:39:07 UTC

SUMMARY: I've upgraded my system to the latest KDE Plasma updates, it's impossible to access the Wayland session now.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. insert my user's password
2. wait for the splashscreen 

OBSERVED RESULT
3. ...I get kicked to sddm again.

I can enter the x11 session instead.

Seems that I can access if I unplug the DisplayPort or the HDMI cable and try to use my laptop's screen. As soon as I replug it in, I get kicked away again.

I'm experiencing the same. "/home/user/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log" shows:
Error: could not determine $DISPLAY.
Error: Can not contact kdeinit5!
org.kde.startup: "kdeinit5_shutdown" QList() exited with code 255
startplasma-wayland: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Shutting down...
startplasmacompositor: Done.

Comment 3 David Edmundson 2024-10-19 14:29:33 UTC

The most useful log after this happens will be "journalctl --user -r"

Comment 4 salvatore.cresce 2024-10-19 14:58:51 UTC

Created attachment 175026 [details]
journalctl output

Attaching journalctl --user -r after failing Wayland *and* then entering with X11 in order to have the output.

It's 5 or 6MB, it's impossible to attach it here.

Comment 5 juantxorena 2024-10-19 15:07:16 UTC

I have the same problem (also opensuse). I'd attach the log but mine is 84Mb for some reason. intel iGPU and amd dGPU.

Comment 6 Bruno Labadia 2024-10-19 17:56:06 UTC

Same problem here on Opensuse Tumbleweed: plasma wayland, authentication mask appears, input of password never proceeds. Ctrl + Alt + backspace to abort, change to console Ctrl+Alt+F1, login as user, startx proceeds to full KDE desktop. I also have an external display attached.

Comment 7 renoth 2024-10-19 17:57:19 UTC

Newest updates has just fixed this for me.

Comment 8 salvatore.cresce 2024-10-19 18:50:06 UTC

The newest updated fixed this for me.

Comment 9 Bruno Labadia 2024-10-22 11:35:54 UTC

Still doesn't work here. With external display attached, KDE Plasma Wayland session never starts up to desktop. 
I have to remove the external display, start KDE without it, then I can reattach the display and then it works as intended. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20241018, KDE Plasma Version 6.2.1, KDE Frameworks Version 6.7.0, kernel 6.11.3-1-default (64-bit).
Hoped for updates to fix it, but not yet.

Comment 10 Bruno Labadia 2024-10-25 08:00:03 UTC

openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241023 update solved the problem.
