Arch + KDE + Wayland = Freeze after login

[Novaera]

Hello everyone!

I have installed Arch Linux using archinstall and eveyrthing seems to fine, except when login using wayland. If I choose Xorg I can start KDE 6 and use everything, but wayland just freezes my system (blank screen) and not even changing tty works. So, no wayland, only Xorg.
Specs are: Ryzen 7800X3D + Radeon 7900XTX.

Can anybody give me a hint on where to start looking to trying to understand what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Here are instructions that helped me fix this issue, however this applies to Nvidia not AMD, you probably need something similar for your GPU to enable modesetting:

Plasma/Wayland/Nvidia - KDE Community Wiki

community.kde.org

Nope, but I can give you a suggestion to try, if the above does not help you, If it does not work, then we can discount that as a possibility and that may assist someone else to help.

It involves placing "nomodeset" in your /etc/default/grub

Open that file either as administrator through your file manager or with your favourite text editor (I use nano) and in the line that begins

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

place a space at the end (and inside any quotation marks) followed by

nomodeset

Save and exit the file.

Update your grub configuration with

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

...reboot and see if it makes any difference.

Let us know how you go.

Cheers and welcome to linux.org
