Help with Plasma 5 (Wayland)

Desktop Environments Plasma

It looks like this post should help:

Also appears to have a couple links farther down that may prove useful.

Hope this helps you get it working.

Edit:
With no wayland, I do not have the option of choosing x11/wayland on the logon screen. I can duplicate your inxi ouput prior to a logout, and after installation there is a dropdown in the lower left for x11/wayland, with the default on x11 (which you see?).

Your output indicates that the 3 items KDE wants to install to use wayland. If you are not seeing the dropdown with the two choices, I would suggest

  • System->UpdateInTerminal from the menu or sudo pacman -Syu from a terminal
  • reboot your machine

If it is still not working come back with results, and anything else you may have tried.
