I was using lxqt DE for some time and now uninstalled it. Now I am able to login to plasma X11 session from login screen but wayland option is missing from login screen. I have removed and reinstalled plasma-wayland-session but it does not help.

I have the option of re-instlalling EOS but want to understand what could be wrong with my system or where i might have made a mess?
Do you use sddm or gddm ?
SDDM. I have tried reinstalling SDDM but it does not help.
Do you have the plasma-wayland-protocols and plasma-wayland-session packages installed?
You’ll need those to use the Wayland session in Plasma. If not install those, logout or reboot and see if it’s available.
I have reinstalled both the packages, rebooted but the issue persists.
I guess you have both sddm and sddm-kcm installed.
Yes both are installed. What to do?
Do you use nvidia? If yes, do you have nvidia-drm.modeset=1 set for kernel cmdline?
I have no good idea.
What does pacman -Q | grep wayland show?
ajayc% pacman -Q | grep wayland
kwayland 5.110.0-1
kwayland-integration 5.27.8-1
plasma-wayland-protocols 1.10.0-1
plasma-wayland-session 5.27.8-1
qt5-wayland 5.15.10+kde+r57-1
wayland 1.22.0-1
wayland-protocols 1.32-1
wayland-utils 1.2.0-1
xorg-xwayland 23.2.0-1
Looks ok to me.
Do you have installed eos-plasma-sddm-config and eos-sddm-theme? The first one might be more important.
The first is installed but not the other.
I have to admit that I am running out of ideas.
Perhaps others have a glue what could be wrong here.
To make sure this has nothing to do with your user you could perhaps try…
- to create another user, say johndoe
- and see when you log iinto johndoe if wayland isn’t available as well for johndoe
Thanks
I have already tried that but the issue persists.
There are two entries in login screen
- Default
- Plasma x11
I do not know where this Default is coming from. If I choose Default, it brings me back to login screen after I input the password.
Only Plasma X11 works.
Perhaps Default is a try to use Wayland
Do you have ~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log? If yes, does it contain anything?
It is blank.
The Default does not work and brings me back to login screen.
Here is the output as you suggested.
