Re: Status of Wayland implementation on nVidia graphics cards

[Roman Gilg]

Hi Christian,

you find a log in "~/.local/share/sddm/wayland-session.log".

After your session doesn't react anymore reboot and log into X session,
where you can read the log out then (in X session it will log to "~/
.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log").

Before asking again for help you may find a solution already by looking at
the log yourself. I suspect an update of kernel or mesa might already help
you. Also make sure you're using the HWE stack of Ubuntu 16.04 with updated
X.Org.

When this helps, please let us know. When this doesn't help feel free to
ask again in a reply (with the log attached).

Cheers,
Roman

Hi Roman,

thank you for the information! I have decided to go for a bug report (a 
few days ago). You can find all the details (incl. logs, pictures and 
videos (links to youtube) right here: 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385007. Would appreciate your analysis!



Cheers,
Christian

Hello Martin,

thank you for the link and the quick reply!

I definitely use Nouveau:

lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104
[GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GK104 [GeForce
GTX 760]
Kernel driver in use: nouveau
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau

When choosing the wayland session and logging in, only black
background (on the other monitor the chosen wallpaper and some
desktop icons) and a bigger cursor loads (c.f. attached picture);
no interaction with system possible (tried this several times;
sometimes the background one the other monitor does not even
load). I have made a video I could share with you, if you want to...

Are there any logs I may view in order to resolve the issue after
turning the PC off and on again? Shall I file a bug report?


Cheers,
Christian

Dear KDE community,

I just installed KDE Neon Git unstable from September 19th
2017 on may
main computer. I want to use Wayland (because of testing and
submitting potential bug reports), but I can't (after user
login,
screen is black with a big cursor, but I can not interact

Therfore, I want to ask how mature Wayland/nVidia

Does it work in general? If so, which driver (nouveau or

Is there a (bug)tracker?


NVIDIA has an own implementation (EGLStreams) which we do not
support and do not plan to support (more information in my
blog at [1]).

Nouveau should work, though I haven't tested it yet.

Cheers,
Martin
