Thanks. I think my underlying problem was that all the commands to launch wayland (variants on "dbus-launch startplasma-wayland") were all very close to the last line of .xinitrc when launching X, so I just made changes there, but stupidly didn't recognize that I needed to issue that line

Thank you. It turns out I had other cruft in the way that was forcing x11. I cleaned up .xinitrc to just the env var settings and "dbus-launch startplasma-wayland" and launch by ". .xinitrc" with no startx involved. Now instead of X I have Xwayland (still belongs to xorg-server package)

Look here for some hints: https://github.com/elogind/elogind/issues/61 Not everything should apply as you are using Gentoo, but I think there might be a solution for you (pam configuration might be a first step). Unfortunately I can't help with elogind as I'm using systemd and there I have no issue

No systemd for me. I use openrc, eudev, and elogind. When I have chance I'll try that, although I think I already have, with the same result. I don't use .xinitrc to start any other processes, just to set some environment variables, and those were set up so long ago, I wouldn't be surpr

P.S.: If you are on systemd just run 'dbus-launch startplasma-wayland' directly after login on the terminal. I don't know if there is an equivalent to .xinitrc that can launch other important commands before the DE. Am Do., 9. Jan. 2020 um 18:38 Uhr schrieb Franz Fellner < alpine.art...@gmail.com>

I finally decided to give Wayland a try, but it hasn't gone very well. I started by enabling the wayland use flag in make.conf, and let emerge make all required updates. I also added the gbm use flag, which only changed one or two packages, Based on various wiki and forum posts, I'm usin

Around 1 month ago, I upgraded a Win 7 system to Win 10. I purchased a new Win 10, but, I never was asked for the Win 10 product key. The upgrade was performed by running the installer from a running Win 7 rather than booting from the installation media. On 2020-01-09 04:00, Mick wrote: > On Wedne
