Hi, I decided to update an i386 Tumbleweed machine here to the latest 20240506 snapshot there were many many packages listed for update (1900+). I used snapper to create a snapshot manually prior to the update.
The update appears to have completed fine without incident. I then powercycled the machine. Now when the SDDM desktop display manager is displayed, I am able to select X11 session type then enter my password and login. Once logged in, the desktop is for the most part unusable. Menu button is covered by workspaces, taskmanager is partially blank, (konsole is also unusable).
I can then switch to TTY1 and enter my username and password. Passing 'inxi -Gxx' displays the following -> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/f42c153b3d71
It appears to me that Xwayland is being used ever though I have selected the X11 session type at SDDM login.
Looking through /.config/kdeglobals (using TTY1) does not show -> [QtQuickRendererSettings] SceneGraphBackend=software
I know this is probably not a software rendering issue. Previously I have forced software rendering by editing /etc/environment and adding -> QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software KWIN_COMPOSE=02ES
Do you believe this may be an issue with a newer version of Mesa now?
Can you tell me the best way to force X11 session to load?
Your inxi output shows xwayland is /available/, confusing information, as it also shows wayland is "inactive". Inxi does report your session is an X.org session. I suggest to run zypper --no-refresh se -si | grep 'tem Pac' | grep -v plication to ensure you don't have v5 KDE or any other stale packages remaining installed. If your Plasma still isn't running properly after than processing, try removing those old special settings you employed for v5. V6 is a major upgrade. Those old settings could be interfering with v6. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
