[SOLVED] Plasma 6 Wayland+Nvidia black screen and mouse cursor only

haigioli · 2024-03-12 03:34:30

I ran into this problem only today. I was on an X11 session. Ran a system update. Rebooted and logged with under Wayland only to be met with a black screen and a large mouse cursor. Seems like a plasmashell error, so I ran

plasmashell --replace

and got the following errors:

I tried reinstalleding plasma-desktop and nvidia drivers. Still the same behaviour.

X11 works very well without any plasmashell errors. Modesetting is turned on and working. Wayland was working yesterday. And now, it's not. Can't really make heads or tails of it.

Never mind. It turns out that whatever trickery that automatically turned on modesetting without the need for the kernel parameter no longer does that. I had to explicitly add it to the kernel parameter and run grub-mkconfig to make it stick. I don't know what changed, but there you have it. Solved.

Perhaps, if someone knows out there why it automatically switches modesetting on, on a machine with an RTX 4090 and not on an RTX 2080, I'd love to know.

I ran into the same problem with an nvidia card after the today's update to plasma 6.

The solution was to enable the kernel mode setting, as haigioli suggested above.

I created a new file at /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf, and put the following lines inside:

options nvidia_drm modeset=1
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1

=> source

That didn't work for me, but this guide did: https://www.maketecheasier.com/wayland- … ics-cards/

I think I'll file a packaging bug...

There is no packaging bug and nothing in that guide is not also mentioned on the relevant wiki pages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#NVIDIA_driver
