Need help with wayland

jmak · 2018-01-16 16:20:26

I just installed plasma desktop and I would like to use wayland.
When I change to plasma-wayland session in sddm the desktop comes up but the touchpad doesn't work.
I can use the cursor and I can click on any icon, however the icons are not responding.
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
Thank you

Here are some data of my system.

What exactly doesn't work - clicks or taps? Or both?
In your libinput:

In wayland I was use autostart script for touchpad configure(because wayland doesn't use xorg-confs):

I don't understand why "libinput list-devices" says

When in my "40-libinput.conf" file I enabled it.

Is taps or clicks doesn't work?
Judging by the xinput output both of those enabled.
You can try to re-init its:

xinput set-prop "DELL0741:00 06CB:7E7E Touchpad" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop "DELL0741:00 06CB:7E7E Touchpad" "libinput Click Method Enabled" 0 1

And check for KDE's touchpad settings. Maybe DE use their own settings.

If you are running wayland instead of xorg, then the xorg settings cannot be used to change the touchpad parameters. You'll have to use the settings built into your wayland compositor.
I do not use KDE, so I don't know if it has working touchpad settings in wayland.

It is the click I guess.
When I roll over the icons the tooltips come up and show the name of the application, but when I click the icon nothing happens.

I reran the libinput commands but no change.

I checked plasma touchpad settings but I don't see anything referring to wayland there.

If it works as intended, then the settings you see when running plasma-wayland should work for the wayland version. Wayland doesn't have to be mentioned there.

Plasma-desktop xorg session works fine.

I don't know what else I can do to make wayland work.
