Problems with nvidia drivers and sddm not working.

choppystorm · 2024-05-04 15:47:13

I updated my system recently after not updating it in a while and when i rebooted my computer sddm shows a black screen with only a cursor. i can switch to another tty and log in form there, if i try to start my desktop (Hyprland) it says no GPU found in the logs. this is the same for when i try to launch all desktop environments other than kde plasma on Wayland for some reason. the only problem with this is is that Wayland crashes every time i hover over a open window and it closes all of my apps on my desktop. i am kinda new do i don't know any trouble shooting steps to solve this. i also tried looking in the wiki about NVIDIA problems and sddm problems but nothing seamed to work. any help is appreciated. Thanks

Edit: i am on linux-zen with NVIDIA-dkms drivers

Hyprland with nvidia is simply not working properly for most people

There are numerous threads about this.

Are your nivdia drivers even loaded properly? Post the links after failing to start SDDM

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

I'm having this exact same problem after updating today. Did you ever find a fix for it?

edit:i changed the config in sddm from xorg to Wayland to see if this would fix it and haven't changed it back. i can add a log again after i switch this

Xorg starts correctly, SDDM starts correctly, as soon as you try to load a session things fall apart. Did you configure some environment variables bending your GL vendor paths as part of the session? What output do you get from

printenv

I had a similar problem with plasma+wayland, check that you have this working and reboot: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … de_setting, or check this video for some hints https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6HGON_agn4

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

Can you disable SDDM and start hyprland manually?
