Hi,

The package plasma-workspace-wayland should install all dependencies. Then a item 'Plasma (Wayland)' will be shown in the login screen.

I recently tested Fedora 34 with KDE Plasma and Wayland in a virtual machine, There it is already the default installation. It did not crash as before, but I found several issues. For instance, the keyboard did not work with dead keys (German tilde) or compose key. That is a no go for me. I don't think that Mageia 8 will be better.

Best regards,
Bequimão

October 20th 2021, Wayland wont allow MCC to open, neither from the cli nor the menu.

Have this been working for you earlier in that install?
Do other applications work?
Are there any error messages in launching terminal or journal?

This is the result of starting at command line.
Code: Select all
Too late to run INIT block at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 257.
Ignore the following Glib::Object::Introspection & Gtk3 warnings
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Cannot be run in console mode.


I have not ever run wayland before this last month, it has never run MCC.

I haven't seen other apps that wont run, but Wayland doesnt recognize doubleclick on title-bar for vertical maximization.

It does play nice with at least one wine 3d game, possibly even with less heat.

Wayland still does not open MCC from the menu or cli

FWIW, this has already been reported some time ago as https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28365
and there's an entry in errata for that under https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Errata#Plasma
