KDE6.2 + Nouveau + Wayland = hard loop

[binro]

I had been using KDE 6 with some success until KDE 6.2 (and later) releases arrived. Now, I can logon and everything seems to start OK until after about 5 minutes when the log message tailer dies and Nagios sends me an email saying the desktop is down. Looking at the system messages I see:

Well, thanks for all the helpful suggestions, the community has surpassed itself! Next project: working out how to make XFCE work with kdeconnect.

Can't help you sadly but I'm very interested in your quest for XFCE. I'm at KDE 6.15 + nouveau and after reading your post above I don't risk to update this pc anymore.

I have been experimenting. I restored the entire Gentoo system onto a different machine (which also has an Nvidia card) except for the /home directory. I then started a KDE 6.2 + Wayland session and everything ran OK. So, on my normal machine I created a new user and then tried KDE 6.2 + Wayland, and that also ran OK. So it seems it's old config values that are causing the problem, though to cause a hard loop in a device driver seems a bit unlikely, but there you go! The good news is the latest KDE upgrade, or using XFCE for a couple of weeks , seems to fix the problem with Plasma not starting under the X server. So I am content for the time being, until the next big upgrade!

So, go ahead with the upgrade to 6.2, but take a good backup first!
