KDE login screen freezes and Wayland session crashes on openSUSE Tumbleweed

Created attachment 875463 [details] Hardware details Description: After entering the password on the KDE login screen, the system sometimes freezes and requires a reboot. Occasionally the Wayland session crashes and I have to enter my password a second time to log in successfully. There are also cases where after entering the password on the login screen, the session crashes and I am redirected to a TTY. Steps to reproduce: - Boot the system and wait for the KDE login screen to appear. - Enter the password. - Observe the behaviour: freezing, crashing to TTY, or requiring a second login attempt. Expected behaviour: The system should log in successfully after entering the password without crashing or freezing. Actual behaviour: - The system sometimes freezes after entering the password. - The Wayland session crashes, requiring a second login attempt. - The session crashes and redirects to a TTY. Additional Information: Kernel version: [output of uname -a] KDE version: Linux opensus-desktop 6.9.3-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu May 30 08:29:01 UTC 2024 (279162a) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux KWin version: kwin 6.0.5 Installed packages: See attached installed-packages.txt System logs: See attached journalctl-log.txt, xorg-log.txt, wayland-log.txt, and recent-logs.txt Hardware details: See attached hwinfo.txt Log analysis: recent-logs.txt: The log entries show an attempt to log in that required two attempts. Key entries include Various system service starts and hardware initialisations. Logind errors, possibly related to session management. recent-logs2.txt: The second successful logon attempt contains entries such as Initialisation and successful start of system services. User Session and Display Manager successfully started. Initialisation of NetworkManager and Bluetooth services.

Just to let you know what commands I used: sudo hwinfo > hwinfo.txt uname -a plasmashell --version kwin_wayland --version rpm -qa > installed-packages.txt journalctl -b > journalctl-log.txt cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > xorg-log.txt journalctl -b | grep -i wayland > wayland-log.txt journalctl -xe > recent-logs.txt journalctl -xe > recent-logs2.txt
Forgot the plasma version (In reply to B from comment #0) > KDE version: plasmashell --version plasmashell 6.0.5
Plasma 6.1 still affected Tumbleweed # VERSION="20240624"
Same here, after update and reboot Plasma won't start anymore with Wayland, so switching to Xorg was needed as work around
(In reply to David Kerkhof from comment #10) > Same here, after update and reboot Plasma won't start anymore with Wayland, > so switching to Xorg was needed as work around If you're looking for a quick fix, I've found that it's easy to switch the TTY (1 or 3 usually), login, then use the command startplasma-wayland.
So, perhaps an interesting update on this topic: I found out two things. 1) Setting KDE to autologin causes a 100% reproducible boot to TTY after the KDE login splash screen. 2) If I disable autologin again and enter my user password about 5 seconds later as "immediately", I can login 100% of the time. What is going on here?

That's unrelated to your original issue. Wayland + autologin not working is a mix of systemd and sddm issues (bug 1200436).
