  • [gentoo-user] Plasma 6

    From jdm@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 19 10:00:01 2024
    Hello,

    I've installed KDE Plasma 6 (plasma-meta) and all packages have built
    with no problem but whenever I start in wayland session it crashes out
    after a couple of seconds of logging in. X sessions works with no
    problems.

    So wondering if this is problem with just my PC or a more general issue
    and if wayland is ready yet for prime time.

    Thanks

    I'm still on stable Plasma-5 Wayland, so can't comment on Plasma-6, but you could take a look at your ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log in case it reports what's causing the crash and search for any reports in bugzilla in
    case it has been addressed already.

    Thanks,

    I decided to uninstall, then do a sync and then install again but now
    getting lots of soft blocks. Think I'll wait until it's not in testing.

    I recently updated on my newer rig.  It started acting weird as well.
    I thought it was me making changes in the kernel until I went back
    to a kernel that I knew worked.  What mine does is this.  The monitor
    seems to cut off and goes into the energy saving mode thing.  I tried restarting display-manager over ssh from my main rig and even that did nothing.  Then I tried something I didn't expect to work. I cut the
    monitor off and back on.  It came on but was at a console.  I had
    stopped display-manager so not to surprised really.  I was trying all
    sorts of options including trying to switch to a console.  That could
    have been how I ended up at a console.

    When it does that, power off your monitor and then power it back on. 
    See what it does.  Even it is truly crashing, I doubt it will hurt anything.  Heck, it might actually come back on.  Might give some guru
    on this list a clue as to the cause or some reported bug.

    At the moment, I'm trying to downgrade.

    I had just started building a new KDE system on my Ryzen M9 box, starting with no USE flags set, and only setting a flag when portage demanded it. I hadn't noticed that Qt6 was now out until I started installing plasma apps, when it became clear that some wholesale flag-setting was required.

    A few USE flags survived from the previous system, but I only needed these set for Qt6:

    kde-plasma/kwin lock
    dev-qt/* wayland
    kde-frameworks/* wayland
    kde-plasma/libplasma wayland
    media-libs/mesa wayland
    x11-base/xwayland libei

    There are other problems with multitasking, but I'll report those separately.
