KDE Plasma 5.27 is here

:+1:

Did anyone tried to run SDDM with wayland and kwin ? :slight_smile:

Yes, no Problem detected since three days.

I am using Wayland both on Ryzen with Amd and also Intel with Nvidia. Both using sddm no issues.

Sorry did we talk about the same things ? My message wasn’t clear. I was talking about running SDDM under wayland.

@swh Nice! :slight_smile: I will try tonight.

Yes, i use sddm under Wayland. That’s what I meant!

I bought this an am very happy with it.

I think i can install it next week when it arrives. At the moment i use the on-board graphics from the ryzen 7. It surely will be a much higher performance.

Here they are on sale for $539 Cdn for the 6750 XT which has 12 GB memory.
These cards work great on Plasma.

Here about 400€. I’m not a gamer. This is mine:

Should be good! I like Gigabyte. My RX590 is a Gigabyte. :wink: The new one i have RX6750 XT is an Asus brand.

I have choosen Gigabyte because my Mainboard is a Gigabyte Aourus Elite.
This must be working well with my Plasma and Video stuff and Gaia thing.

Just got more updates for plasma plus others.

A rebuild of many packages for the updated ICU 73.

Ok, so i’ve just tested with a fresh install of eos on vbox.

Don’t know if its vm related but after clicking ā€œApply Plasma Settingsā€¦ā€ the cursor on SDDM is now oversized (perfect for my grand-ma but not a much for me).

Also the keyboard layout default each time to US and for some reason the combobox don’t work for me :sweat_smile:

Your better off using vmware. I used to be a v-box user for a long time and i gave up on it.

Or if the host is Linux also, Qemu/KVM gives wonderful performance and offers more features than the vmware player last time I ran player (has been a few versions).

I think we’re getting off topic so I’ll carry on with Kde Plasma 5.27 is here. :wink:

Just learn that to get your usual keyboard layout, you could launch kwin_wayland with --locale1

/etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf
[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts --locale1

Plasma 5.27.9 released and is in the Arch repos.
