Install Bug with Wayland

Hello,

I have tried installing Artix twice now and both times I ran into the same issue -- can't login into Wayland after installing, even if you type correct password.   The screen goes black but control returns to SDDM.   X Plasma login works.   I found a reddit post with a solution/work around which is to edit /etc/environment and set the QT_SYTLE_OVERRIDE and set it to "Breeze".   Then, I could at least login and work on Wayland.    Granted, this is easy fix once you know but if you don't know....   I lost a day or more of time just struggling with this.

if you could say the iso, the dev's will spin it up in a virtual machine and see.

I can confirm the bug in the latest weekly Plasma. A cursory search revealed multiple reports of SDDM crashing on Plasma/Wayland and the fact that it won't work without explicitly setting QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE to something it likes, is not very encouraging. Note, said variable is unset in default installs.

I'm undecided on how to fix this. For the moment, we'll update the wiki with a note about the issue. Once we gather more information, we'll deal with it properly.

Sorry just seeing the ISOs I had trouble with were:

artix-plasma-openrc-20240823-x86_64.iso
artix-plasma-runit-20240823-x86_64.iso
