Title: Cannot Login to Plasma Wayland
Post by: greg0r on 29 October 2021, 00:49:55
I'm running Artix-openrc with amd ryzen/radeon. Whenever I try to login to plasma wayland, the screen goes black and it returns to the login screen after a few seconds. It happens on both sddm and gdm, but only for plasma. I can login to gnome and sway without any trouble. I've tried removing ~/.Xauthority and the xsession for plasma and also editing the /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop file, but nothing has worked. Has anyone else been having trouble with this?

KWin is not fully ready for Wayland. Read https://community.kde.org/KWin/Wayland for more info.

I see. That's unfortunate. Thanks anyway.

Check  plasma-wayland-protocols  and plasma-wayland-session installed or not

Looks like I didn't have plasma-wayland-protocols installed. Still won't log me in. I'm going to keep playing around with it to see if I can get it to work

Did you perhaps install through Calamares?
I had the same problem after a Calamares Plasma install, but it was resolved after trying a base install. Ensure that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR  is set (elogind service is running or pam_rundir is installed with seatd).
