SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and setup optimus switch (done via endeavour os' guide)
2. Run the command optimus-manager --switch hybrid or through system tray icon
3. Logout and be unable to log back in with a error message saying session can't start

OBSERVED RESULT
Something with the nvidia card and integrated card being both used screws with the new plasma 5.25 update.

EXPECTED RESULT
With the previous versions I've been able to switch back and forth just fine, get logged out and log right back in.

Can you upgrade to 5.25 and see if it still happens?

5.25.5 doesn't exist. You're either on 5.24.5, or 5.24.90 (the 5.25 beta) or 5.25.0, or 5.25.80 (i.e. current git master).

Which one is it exactly?

Since I have to reboot after it crashes by going ctrl alt f2 then rebooting I can't get a backtrace sense I don't get a crash handler.

Thanks.
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2023-12-08 19:49:42 UTC
Sorry nobody was able to investigate this yet. Are you still experiencing it in Plasma 5.27? If yo are, can you try the Wayland session to see if it works as expected there? Thanks a lot!
