    Re: Cannot launch into Kubuntu 23.10 with a brand new install

    Thanks for posting that! I wound up selecting the Nouveau driver in the Additional Drivers tab, then switching back to the recommended NVIDIA driver, and then I reset my system. After I did all of that, I was able to launch my system normally again! I guess that the graphics driver wasn't set up properly during the install process.

    Code:
    $ inxi -GxxzGraphics:

    I still think you need to
    a) switch from Wayland to Xorg as the display driver
    b) use the nomemset kernel boot parameter so nvidia's driver is first in the list.


    There shouldn't be any mention of Xwayland in that output.

    Re: Cannot launch into Kubuntu 23.10 with a brand new install

    I just tried doing both of those things you mentioned, but the output of inxi -Gxxz was the exact same. The odd thing is that I always selected "Desktop Session: Plasma (X11)" from the login screen. The output stayed the same when I switched to Wayland and then back to X11 before running the command again. Also, if I try checking with echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE, it returns x11.

    I don't have 23.10 on real hardware nor do I use KDE. Perhaps things have changed in newer releases.

    Hopefully, someone else can help.

    For Kubuntu 23.10,
    Code:
    apt list plasma-workspace-wayland --installed
    If that is not there, install it...

    Then do this to fix a Scaling rendering bug with KDE Plasma, for 23.10:
    Code:
    sudoedit /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf
    Add this line at the end
    Code:
    org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;
    Reboot to pick up that change...

    At the SDDM Graphical login panel... Look at the bottom left of the screen, where it says "Desktop Session". Choose "Plasma X11". Enter your password and login.

    No, that's just how inxi works nowadays. If the xwayland package is installed, it reports the version, even if Wayland isn't being used. It doesn't make sense to me either..

    use the nomemset kernel boot parameter so nvidia's driver is first in the list.
    If you're referring to 'nomodeset', that is not a good idea. That will disable any accelerated graphics kernel modules/drivers from loading. It is okay for the 'modesetting' (aka GLAMOR) X driver to be present/loaded on a system with an Intel GPU. That is what Intel GPU's use for 2D acceleration.
    If OP is really worried about the Intel GPU interfering and wants to disable it, that can be done in the BIOS: https://www.technewstoday.com/msi-integrated-graphics/

    EDIT: Actually, I'm confused about whether the OP is still having any issues. "I was able to launch my system normally again!" sounds like problem solved to me.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear about it before, but my issue was resolved after switching between the Nouveau and Nvidia drivers in safe mode. Should I also ignore editing kde-portals.conf if inxi always reports Wayland in it's output?

    Code:
    printenv | grep 'XDG_SESSION_TYPE'
    That will tell you whether Wayland or X11 is running. At this point you could mark the thread as "Solved". It probably doesn't matter which graphics engine is running, as now you are doing well. You know how to see what it running, and how to change it now, if you do need to.

    I would still do the edit to /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf... That corrects a bug that affected the font scaling, that isn't backported to Kubuntu 23.10 yet. It will hit the updates eventually.

    We already know OP is running X.
    Code:
    Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.0
        compositor: kwin_x11

    That's just painful and printevn doesn't exist. Shorter is:

    Code:
    echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
    So,
    Code:
    $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
    tty
    Code:
    $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
    x11
    is what I see.
