Sorry for not answering, I forgot to check the forum.
I’m using Manjaro Xfce since a lot of years and I wanted to experiment how KDE would work in my PC, so I installed the DE and I created another user where I would only use Plasma (for avoiding problems with the configuration of Xfce in my main user), it worked without no problem when I used the X11 session, but when I try to use the Wayland session it only shows a blank screen for less than a minute and then it goes back to the login screen (I’m using LightDM).
I tried to debug what happened by creating another user and saving journalctl logs when I tried to log in using the Wayland session. This was like a month ago, but the problem remains even after updating. I wanted to put here the logs but they are very long and I can’t paste a link to a Pastebin here.
(I’m telling you this because it may be related with what happened with the LiveUSB)
So I wanted to try to use KDE from the latest ISO so I could check if it’s a problem with my current installation, but then the problem I described in the first post happened.
BTW, after that I tried to check with Fedora KDE LiveUSB and a similar problem happened when I tried to boot from it.
- I did use
manjaro-kde-25.1-pre2-251215-linux618.iso
- It’s a desktop computer, it has like 17 years, I know it’s pretty old and obsolete, but it’s what I have.
- It only has an Intel GMA X4500, it has 384 MB VRAM and only supports OpenGL 2.1 (I don’t know why inxi says OpenGL 3.3, it doesn’t work).
Did you hash the content of the USB to match the SHA from website ?
Did you hash compare the hash of the ISO to the SHA from website ?
Yes I hashed the ISO in my hard drive and in the USB, it gave me the same SHA-1 checksum in both and it’s the same from the website.
… also make sure Secure Boot is disabled in your firmware. If you gonna to realize a dual boot scenario with Windoze, make sure Fast startup is switched off before shutting down Windoze.
I don’t have Windows in this computer and it has BIOS, not UEFI.
