KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

Hello!

I am not even sure what to debug here. The only message I get when running "systemsettings" from the terminal is:
qt.qpa.wayland: eglSwapBuffers failed with 0x300d, surface: 0x0

EDIT:

I have found that if I start from cli with a module, it seems to work fine:
systemsettings kcm_colors

I am having the same issue, it won't start normally but will start fine with a module.

Re: KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

Just a guess, try egl-wayland-git?

Re: KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

egl-wayland was downgraded back to 1.1.13.1-1 from 1.1.14 because of this bug and several others. Or, at least, I was seeing this same problem around that time, and that's what the bug reports said later.

There's an egl-wayland 1.1.15 in testing right now, which has a bunch of KDE fixes, but no promise that it will actually work as of yet. Better to stick with the "latest" 1.1.13-1 (i.e., rolled-back to 1.1.13 from the brief 1.1.14 release a week or two ago).

Its strange, is was working yesterday.
(reboot after downgrade didn't change anything)

Re: KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

This works absolutely fine here with standard repo packages, randomly installing egl-wayland-git points to you papering over a bigger problem and actually conducting partial upgrades, what outputs do you get from

pacman -Qm
pacman -Qs '-git'

I'm having the same problem even after doing pacman -Syu

I tried several versions of egl-wayland and still nothing.

This resolved itself during a recent update, and a thread on another forum discussing this issue in relation to arch has also been silent since the 6.1.5 release

Re: KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

@fahimaloy, superficially similar symptoms don't mean it's the same problem.
nvidia GPU?

Please open a new thread and post the output of

qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation

there as well as your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: KDE Plasma systemsettings fails to start on wayland

Hello!

I am not even sure what to debug here. The only message I get when running "systemsettings" from the terminal is:
qt.qpa.wayland: eglSwapBuffers failed with 0x300d, surface: 0x0

EDIT:

I have found that if I start from cli with a module, it seems to work fine:
systemsettings kcm_colors

This happened to me when I selected the NightGlow Blue global theme. When I removed it, the problem disappeared.
