SUMMARY If I boot up X11 on my laptop, the taskbar doesn't show up making it where I had to create my own taskbar. If I boot up wayland on my laptop, the entire desktop environment is very laggy including the mouse. Colors glitch a lot. Sound doesn't work either. My laptop is an Acer chromebook 315 (Gemini Lake) Blorb. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot up computer 2. Put either x11 or wayland to start it 3. either have no taskbar show up or desktop environment become unusuable as well with no sound OBSERVED RESULT Sound doesn't work, no taskbar showing up, extremely laggy, colors glitching EXPECTED RESULT For it to run perfectly fine, sound working, with a taskbar SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: The latest I think KDE Plasma Version: The latest I think KDE Frameworks Version: The latest I think Qt Version: The latest I think ADDITIONAL INFORMATION none
Thank you for the bug report! Reports should not contain multiple completely distinct issues, as it makes it much harder to act on and track them. It will get confusing which issue someone is talking about. May i ask you to file a separate report for your issues with Wayland and with sound? We can then use this report to investigate your issues with the panel not showing up on X11. After you added your own panel, does it show up correctly and only the default panel is missing? Can you test a new user account and see if the panel shows up there correctly? Do you use an external monitor/other screen with your laptop?
Yes, I will file a separate report thank you. After adding my own panel it does show up and not the default one. I did extensive testing before submitting the report, even with a new user account, the panel still doesn't show up on X11. No external monitor, just the same one that it came manufactured with.
Also, how would I file a bug for wayland, then sound?
Thanks for reporting back! Regarding the sound issue, I'd usually assume that the problem is somewhere lower in the stack, but if it works under X11 but does not work under Wayland Plasma or one of the components might be involved. I have no idea where to report this, maybe Plasmashell and then someone can move the report when we know more. It would definitely be relevant how the sound is connected and which one does not work - phone plug, Bluetooth, HDMI etc.
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.8-arch1-1 (64 bit)
So yes, let's get that separate report for sound.
