i downloaded wayland using sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session but to enable wayland i need that login screen which i don’t arrive at . Any other way to go over this?
yeah @lePAT i tried restarting multiple times , now the kernel version is 5.14 but the issue still persists.
As a temporary fix i had disabled the lock screen option .
If you do not arrive the login, you have to press Strg + Alt + F4 to open TTY terminal, there you can login then you disable wayland. Then press Strg + Alt + F1 to back normal Desktop login.
If that worked and you had no errors, remove the documents from your old user:
rm --recursive /home/kathir/Documents/*
repeat for:
Pictures
Videos
Music
.thunderbird
.mozilla/firefox/
Templates, and everything else that is important to you.
Linux games like Battle of Wesnoth have their game data stored under ~/.local/share/ E.G. ~/.local/share/wesnoth/
After everything has been copied over, disable the old user so you cannot accidentally log on:
usermod --lock kathir
If you would have theming going on, don’t do everything in one day but do this at the rate of 1 application / theme / whatever per day and if the same issue crops up again, roll back your last change and thus you’ve now pinpointed the exact setting that made your old user misbehave.
in 1 month delete the entire home directory of your old user, but don’t delete the user itself so that in 6 months time files still owned by that user will still show up under its username.
If you ever migrate to a new machine, just don’t migrate the old user: only the new one.
From now on, start making backups so you can roll back and never have to do this again:
@Fabby i just found out that if i changed my AccelMethod to “sna” the login issue gets resolved.But setting the AccelMethod to “sna” causes the screen sharing issue where while sharing the screen in some platform like google meet some random previous instance of the screen gets shared.So the problem is in the Intel GPU configuration . I tried setting AccelMethod to “blt” and i get the screen sharing issue.I am stuck in a deadlock as how to assign a method to AccelMethod.In “uxa” screen sharing works normal but the login fails , in the other two methods screen sharing doesn’t work but the black screen bug is resolved. Can someone provide a solution for this please?
