Adds a Wayland greeter and should fix some long standing bugs relating to slow shutdowns in KDE.
Adds a Wayland greeter and should fix some long standing bugs relating to slow shutdowns in KDE.
On what version of Plasma it was the slowdown happening? I am on 5.27.5 from the Debian 12 repository and it runs very well.
It’s not a Plasma issue. It’s a SDDM 0.19 issue and it happens more often on certain machines than others. For example, my desktop gets this issue once in a blue moon, but my laptop gets it all the time. Both are running Arch. Not sure if Debian has done some patches to SDDM that works around this issue.
I had KDE on Arch installed on a laptop (gave to my mom, now swapped to windows 10) and didnt know why it was happening and it was like 2 years ago. now i installed KDE on my desktop a few months ago and had the same issue, ended up finding the bug being sddm and swapped to sddm-git, i cant believe they just let this bug run around for years without pushing an update till now
Yeah it was very strange no one bothered to make a release, even though bugs were being constantly fixed.
The issue I have is sometimes the keyboard stops working while on a Plasma session, and only inside the plasma session.
It usually doesn’t happen, but when it happens its always after or during something that uses multiple keys at once (a slip up while typing, or gaming). The only button to work is the Super button, that opens the Plasma start menu. THis is a Plasma only issues, and even just changing users works. Its is literally just the Plasma session for some reason ignoring keyboard presses (and you can’t change to tty).
