[SOLVED] Wayland works partially in Plasma 6

Env:
Linux arch 6.7.8-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
nvidia 550.54.14-4
plasma-meta 6.0-2

Problem:
Login screen is ok.
After login, only a black screen with mouse cursor visible.
Only tried console and dolphin, they could be lauched by hotkeys, and work fine.
As a comparison, X11 works fine.

Question:
Solvable?
How?

Modify /etc/default/grub and add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

Regenerate grub.cfg by running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot.

What about with systemd-boot?

works by editing "option" in "/boot/loader/some-name.conf" as below

options root=PARTUUID=xxxx rw rootfstype=ext4 nvidia_drm.modeset=1

Thanks

I actually experience a similar thing, but I am not using a nvidia gpu, so I think the nvidia_drm.modeset=1 line is not gonna help me much

>After login, only a black screen with mouse cursor visible.

I noticed that when this occurs I can still open a Terminal window using a keyboard shortcut, from there I noticed that for some reasen the program "plasmashell" seems to take longer than usual.

Re: [SOLVED] Wayland works partially in Plasma 6

A slowdown for the first login will be normal as caches and shaders are being rebuilt. Subsequent logins should be siginificantly faster than the first, this has always been the case, even for "major" versions in the Plasma 5 series.
