Plasma Operation Issues

I just installed EndeavourOS on a new laptop, with the Plasma environment.
The installation was carried out without any problem.
But when I log in, I have big problems with Plasma: the screen freezes regularly, the mouse freezes, I can’t access the SystemSettings, I can’t change the screen resolution,…
I tried the installation with Manjaro, and everything works perfectly without doing any manipulation.
I have an intel i7 processor with Evo.

Thank you for your help in helping me resolve the issue (Packages to install,…) and allow me to get EndeavorOS working properly with Plasma.

Did you try disabling Wayland instead of Xorg yet? I’ve had similar issues before. And that helped.

It would be helpful i supplied some hardware information? You can post the url.

Update your system first and reboot.

sudo pacman -Syyu

Hello @Patrick_F

You aren’t fully updated is the first thing as @petsam has said so that’s what needs to be done first. The only thing i see is you are using lvm and also luks. I’m not well versed with lvm partition layout but this is the only thing i can see where there might be an issue. I’m not sure why you are wanting to use lvm or if it is set up correctly? I will have to leave this for someone who has the expertise with lvm to go through how you have it set up which would require some info.

Edit: Would need to see the partition layout under for lvm beyond just what this shows.

You have to edit the corresponding config file of the displaymanager you are using.

For GDM it would be done with this command:

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

In the file, look for the line that says #WaylandEnable=false. You can uncomment this line to disable Wayland, re-start the service, or reboot.

Doesn’t look like the OP is using Wayland? :wink:

Shoot. Me.

don’t think it’s GDM

have a glance please

Just don’t worry about what I wrote, since you are NOT using Wayland, as @ricklinux remarked above, telling from your inxi that you have Xorg running, instead (x-server).

Give the LTS kernel a shot.

I have the same issue. Bought a new System76 Darter Pro for work. (tech specs) I tested it out with Ubuntu and PopOS! which both work perfectly.

I have endeavorOS installed on two other personal machines and haven’t had issues. Using the latest ISO (EndeavourOS_Cassini_neo_22_12.iso) with KDE Plasma as the DE, it is unusable. I verified it is using XOrg graphics too.

The symptom is the menus are broken and don’t take keyboard input and get locked up. The graphics in the launcher or the Settings flicker and I can perhaps type a couple letters but then it’s totally broken. Moving the mouse over the menu causes it to flicker between modes of “favorites” and filtered.

I also tested with Xfce and it works perfectly.

I also tried removing all the .kde config and cache but it doesn’t fix it.

This was using the LTS Kernel.

Hello.

So, the problem come from Kde Plasma.
The question is : How to solve the problem !

It’s Intel Iris Xe? Have you tried uninstalling xf86-video-intel.

Hi @ricklinux,

Yes, uninstalling xf86-video-intel completely fixed the issue for me! Thanks!

Okay, I’m glad that worked. I was just guessing it might but wasn’t sure.

Hello.
Thank you for the info.
I will install EndeavourOS later.
I hope this will work.
Quick question: what to replace xf86-video-intel ?

Thank you very much
