Subject: [blfs-support] black screen with plasma5 on intel
My new build machine is an intel haswell. On the abortive 7.9-rc1
system (abortive because of the glibc issue) I have ended up by
installing kf5 and plasma, along with sddmR,. to check that upgrading
wayland to 1.10 seems ok. But when I rebooted to graphical mode,
both icewm and xfce worked fine, but the 'slider' on the 'colourful'
plasma start screen never got beyond about 25% and then I got a
black screen with a mouse pointer.
.
.
A further suggestion was to give it 5 minutes, in case it eventually
started to work : for the moment I am not willing to wait that long.
Once I've had some sleep, I'm intending to build 7.9-rc2 from this
system so I'll probably use icewm and get on with that - unless
anybody has any likely fixes ?
.
.
- not even let it run for the duration of you being away doing sleep,
or even a shorter-duration other task ? The results may at least help
narrow-down what's what.
I don't like to leave it burning power unnecessarily for hours.
Gave it a try now -
The splash screen fades to blak after about 35 seconds, then about 5
minutes from logging in I get a message starting "The screen locker
is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore." and telling me to
login on a VT and use 'loginctl unlock-sessions' before switching
back to the running session.
I do not, of course, have loginctl.
The full message can be seen at
https://github.com/KDE/kscreenlocker/blob/master/abstractlocker.cpp
it comes from the kde screenlocker daemon, apparently triggered by
m_greeterFailure. So the greeter failed - I think I had already
guessed that. No idea where to look, I'll put this aside.
I am going to start X today. I'll try kf5 and plasma next, but there are
a lot of prerequisites. The problem I had earlier with plasma was that it
did not find the appropriate javascript modules. Hence the code on the
plasma page:
cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids
for j in $(find -name \*.js); do
as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/
done
