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 am glad to hear back from you about this Felix Miata. I commented out the entries that I made in the /etc/environment file (SDDM window descriptors are partially blank now but I can login to KDE V6, (software rendering helped to fix the blank SDDM issue). I updated the machine to snapshot 20240514, powercycled. The V6 Plasma display is plagued by 1/4 of the screen displaying a white box (top right). This was also happening after the initial V6 Megaupdate. Having Software Rendering enabled started a Konsole box in a tiny window so it had to be expanded after the "V6 Megaupdate"). I had neglected to see this initially. See image here of one quarter of the screen displaying a white box. -> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/944b0bde86e1 :~> inxi -GSaz --vs --zl --hostname inxi 3.3.34-00 (2024-04-13) System: Host: localhost.localdomain Kernel: 6.8.9-1-pae arch: i686 bits: 32 compiler: gcc v: 13.2.1 clocksource: hpet avail: acpi_pm parameters: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-6.8.9-1-pae root=/dev/mapper/system-root resume=/dev/system/swap mitigations=auto quiet security=apparmor Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 6.0.4 tk: Qt v: N/A info: frameworks v: 6.2.0 wm: kwin_x11 tools: avail: xscreensaver vt: 2 dm: SDDM Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240514 Graphics: Device-1: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: i915 v: kernel arch: Gen-3.5 process: Intel 90nm built: 2005-06 ports: active: LVDS-1 empty: DVI-D-1,SVIDEO-1,VGA-1 bus-ID: 00:02.0 chip-ID: 8086:27a2 class-ID: 0300 Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 21.1.12 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.6 compositor: kwin_x11 driver: X: loaded: intel unloaded: fbdev,modesetting,vesa dri: i915 gpu: i915 display-ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 1280x800 s-dpi: 96 s-size: 338x211mm (13.31x8.31") s-diag: 398mm (15.69") Monitor-1: LVDS-1 mapped: LVDS1 model: LG Philips 0x8d00 built: 2005 res: 1280x800 dpi: 108 gamma: 1.2 size: 300x190mm (11.81x7.48") diag: 358mm (14.1") ratio: 16:10 modes: 1280x800 API: EGL v: 1.5 hw: drv: intel i915 platforms: device: 0 egl: 1.4 drv: i915 device: 1 drv: swrast surfaceless: egl: 1.4 drv: i915 x11: egl: 1.4 drv: i915 inactive: gbm,wayland API: OpenGL v: 4.5 compat-v: 2.1 vendor: mesa v: 24.0.5 glx-v: 1.4 direct-render: yes renderer: i915 (: 945GM) device-ID: 8086:27a2 memory: 187.5 MiB unified: yes API: Vulkan Message: No Vulkan data available.

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.
I do not see anything related to v5 KDE on the machine.

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.
What are your thoughts on this? I have updated the information on https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1224061 I see your response there also and have changed the topic a bit. -Regards
