Trying to run KDE 6 Plasma with Wayland....

[Maxnix]

Since this is related to the use of KDE with Wayland (I don't recall this problem with the X session), I'm leaving it here just in case someone else is bugged by this:
To better match GTK decoration buttons with KDE ones when using CSD (client side decoration), like Firefox or Thunderbird do with titlebar hidden, there is the need to install devel/dconf:

It still doesn't draw the red circle to the close button (if you configured it), but at least is a better match.

Ok, upgraded to 15.1-RELEASE, upgraded all packages too, and now SDDM doesn't want to start the Wayland session; BUT it works flawlessly from command line with the same command used by SDDM:
/usr/local/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session /usr/local/lib/libexec/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/local/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/local/bin/startplasma-wayland
Will try to see if I messed something up...

Hi

I installed one system from scratch with 15.1 -RELEASE
Used the REPOS for everything but the graphics drivers
Built nvidia-drm-kmod from todays port tree which pulled in nvidia-drm-612 and drm-612-kmod


$ pkg info nvidia* drm*
nvidia-driver-595.80
nvidia-drm-612-kmod-595.80.1501000_1
nvidia-drm-kmod-595.80
nvidia-kmod-595.80.1501000
nvidia-settings-595.58.03
nvidia-xconfig-595.58.03
drm-612-kmod-6.12.85.1501000_1

Ports tree on the release DVD does not include DRM 612 drivers.
Repos only have DRM-612 built for 16-current

Nope, no dice. Tried reinstalling all pkgs again, but nothing; tried compiling SDDM locally after updating the ports collection, nothing.
I'll wait for the release official announcement, just in case; otherwise I'll file a bug report.

My experience as well Wayland works from command line , not from sddm -

( exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startplasma-wayland ) this works.

It has already been reported: PR 296052

I'm compiling everything from scratch on a 15.1-RELEASE on my ROG Zephyrus AMD Advantage laptop.

Will post about this in here when the compilation is done.

The Zephyrus laptop is a strange beast where in the past I was unable to get Xorg going, or a KDE Wayland session - but amdgpu worked fine on it, and Wayfire worked from command-line. Hoping for different results with 15.1-RELEASE and drm-kmod-612...
