[ARM] Odroid-N2 with KDE Plasma & Wayland broke

ARM Plasma
1

After today’s updates, Odroid-N2 with Plasma & Wayland is broken. After signing in at SDDM the screen goes black forever. No cursor, no nothing.

Turned out to be a mesa problem.
mesa-1:25.0.1-2 is the culprit.
mesa-1:24.3.4-1 works as expected.

Work arounds

  1. Down grade mesa to 1:24.3.4-1
  2. use x11 with mesa 1:25.0.1-2

RPi 4b, RPi 5, and Pinebook Pro all work with the new version of mesa.

Wayland still having issues??

I don’t think Wayland has issues. In fact I think it is in good shape.

The problems lie in how well the different Desktop Environments have adapted to Wayland.
Gnome Wayland is very good from my minimal usage.
Plasma Wayland is very good
Cinnamon They still call Wayland experimental, but it is good.
Xfce4 Wayland still has a long way to go
LXQT Wayland still has a long way to go

Sway Window Manager is very good.

That’s about all I have had Wayland experience with.
