KDE not starting after upgrade

[PotatoBeet]

Hi everyone. Until today every problem with EOS was handled by myself and google but right now i need help After one of the upgrades few weeks ago KDE stopped starting. Booting stops on

[OK] Started Simple Desktop Display Manager

and it stops forever. The only way i can login is to switch to another tty, login and run startplasma-wayland, then everything works. I have tried upgrading whole system, using systemctl and nothing works.

Any hint how can I solve this?

Hi

Can you post the output of:
cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

and status of sddm:
systemctl status sddm.service

and journal of current boot of sddm:
journalctl -b 0 -u sddm.service

cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

Hmm, okay, that seems clean to me. We gotta dig a bit deeper it seems.

please share the 0x0.st link provided by the eos logtool:

Start from terminal to enable journals:
eos-log-tool -j

Leave every tick as it is, and additionally tick the "system journal, 2nd most recent" and "system journal, 3rd most recent" and click on the bottom-right button that says: Share logs to the internet, then it will ask you for your password, then another prompt, just hit execute and there you’ll get the link, to copypaste here Let’s see if we can gather some more intel out of the journal.

I see you’re using lts. Try out using the arch kernel instead (6.8.9) and see if it goes in

[PotatoBeet]

It’s almost the same but this time booting stops at

A start job is running for Wait for Network to be Configured 

[Magus]

Hmm I see, lets see what does pacman -Syu show

[PotatoBeet]

It’s simply upgrading everything like normal:

Hmm, ok lets confirm if you have a file here (its like 99% nope, but still lets make sure) and see its content if you have:
cat /etc/sddm.conf

also lets see if these are giving back results:
ls /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
ls /usr/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session

Give output of this:
lsmod | grep nvidia

and this:
sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
Y OR N ?

[PotatoBeet]

kazik@steamer:~$  cat /etc/sddm.conf
kazik@steamer:~$  ls /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
/usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
kazik@steamer:~$  ls /usr/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session
/usr/share/sddm/scripts/wayland-session
kazik@steamer:~$  lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_modeset       1605632  2
nvidia              60502016  76 nvidia_modeset
video                  77824  3 ideapad_laptop,i915,nvidia_modeset
kazik@steamer:~$

And NO to answer last question

[Magus]

Thanks for the outputs and for the last one which I edited just before you posted

So, for me it seems nvidia-drm doesn’t get properly loaded for odd reason, because it is in the kernel cmdline

maj 09 22:26:50 _hostname_ kernel: Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=c48a77dd-c72e-43da-babd-aba141f77cde rw nowatchdog nvme_load=YES nvidia-drm.modeset=1 loglevel=3

lets try to fix that first. In worst case scenario we’re gonna try to early load your nvidia in dracut too if this plan A doesn’t work.

Edit /etc/kernel/cmdline with your favorite editor nano/vim etc… (in sudo mode ofcourse)

…and find this word: nvidia-drm.modeset=1, then rewrite it to nvidia_drm.modeset=1
(basically _ instead of - between nvidia and drm - on my machine I have it as the underline variant, I’ve read on the internet that this might be source of odd behaviours such as yours)

save the file, and rebuild kernel boot images kernel via sudo reinstall-kernels

reboot, and cross fingers

[PotatoBeet]

@Magus

Edit /etc/kernel/cmdline with your favorite editor nano/vim etc… (in sudo mode ofcourse)

There is one problem. I don’t have this file

[Magus]

Woops

In this case, see if you have this file /boot/loader/entries/ and there should be a file ending with .conf
(if you dont see this also, please send an ls -lR /boot output (needs to be in sudo mode afaik), - sorry I’m not having a legacy install, can’t recall this accurately, just from my memory as I remember)

open it and edit, find the options row and then rewrite appropriate nvidia-drm → nvidia_drm
save and do the reinstall kernel as mentioned above.

[PotatoBeet]

Nope. No file like this at all.

And also today boot stopped at:

Reached target Graphical Interface

[Magus]

Gotcha. You got GRUB.

1. sudo edit the /etc/default/grub

2. find line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

3. find variable containing nvidia-drm as mentioned above and rename it to nvidia_drm

4. save the grub file

5. execute: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then reboot, and cross your fingers.

Alternatively (as plan B), try early loading into KMS

[PotatoBeet]

Neither of this solutions worked. I see that it is randomly stopping boot on different tasks. Now when i change back to tty1 it shows:

A start job is running for Wait for Network to be Configured.

[jake99]

You have an “oldish” hardware, glad to see its still running, but your setup is very weird according to the logs.

First question: Why are you running prime-offload scripts? Those are Cannonical’s obsolete Prime scripts which are not needed for your Maxwell generation hardware (5xx novidea drivers still support your card). Another weird thing is that you start sddm on x11, and startup scripts are trying to setup the offload there, but then you choose to run wayland session. Why?

What I would try to do:

1. get rid of the prime scripts (you don’t need them, offload should work “automatically” with 5xx drivers)
2. switch sddm to wayland
3. make sure modset is applied to nvidia_drm
4. try early KMS if everything else fails (but I doubt that will change anything)

@Magus hypen and underscore are treated equally by the linux kernel

So it does not matter if it’s nvidia-drm or nvidia_drm.
More info here https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

[PotatoBeet]

I think i started using them when i was trying to make nvidia card working (i had always problems with this, doesn’t matter what distro).

@jake99

but then you choose to run wayland session. Why?

It’s temporary so i can work at all as i wrote in the first post. It’s the only way i can get KDE start.

@jake99

switch sddm to wayland

How can i do it?

[Magus]

@jake99

@Magus hypen and underscore are treated equally by the linux kernel

More info here https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

Gotcha, that is why I said, that I’ve read this from a few reports on the internet, but then it might be an urban legend, thanks for clarifying that, one questionmark cloud popped out then

@jake99

• make sure modset is applied to nvidia_drm
• try early KMS if everything else fails (but I doubt that will change anything)

Yepp, those are exactly what I was suggesting the OP to do

Also, OP’s modeset should be applied according to journal at this line:
maj 09 22:26:50 _hostname_ kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=c48a77dd-c72e-43da-babd-aba141f77cde rw nowatchdog nvme_load=YES nvidia-drm.modeset=1 loglevel=3

And this is the point I’m confused, because his/her lsmod doesn’t show neither nvidia_drm nor nvidia-drm (mine does) and that is the main reason, I was thinking maybe its because of the - and _ (that I read somewhere at a linux forum) OP’s lsmod from earlier post:

kazik@steamer:~$  lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_modeset       1605632  2
nvidia              60502016  76 nvidia_modeset
video                  77824  3 ideapad_laptop,i915,nvidia_modeset

My `lsmod` for comparison:

[vajdao@eos ~]$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia_drm            122880  121
nvidia_uvm           6639616  2
nvidia_modeset       1605632  44 nvidia_drm
video                  77824  1 nvidia_modeset
nvidia              60502016  1586 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset

My `cmdline` also for comparison:

nvme_load=YES nowatchdog rw root=UUID=d2d08cbd-bff2-48f2-909a-c3ea684b6b02 nvidia_drm.modeset=1

@PotatoBeet

How can i do it?

I think (but I might be wrong) that @jake99 means you edit your /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf such as:

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=plasma
User=yourusername

and leave everything else as it is, so you get an autologin, if privacy is not an issue for ya.

Edit: follow steps Jake wrote, and only go for this autologin method, if sddm doesn’t appear even after removing the prime-offload scripts as a plan C.
*Plus as a reminder, don’t forget plan B - early loading KMS as I suggested earlier today- once again (I know you already tried, its up to you if you want to combine with the new suggestions
