Hey all, new to Linux so bear with me here.

I was on plasma wayland and I updated my Nvidia drivers to version 550.163.01 on my 3050 (confirmed after running the ‘nvidia-smi’ command in konsole) the other day, and I can only boot into the plasma x11 desktop environment. Whenever I try to to log into plasma wayland, the screen will go black for a second and then automatically return me to log in screen.

After running uname -r, my kernel version is 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64

The system runs okay on x11, but some programs don’t work as they should, and the whole system seems a little sluggish. Any ideas to get back into wayland?

      After a quick search, I found the journalctl command. I ran that and the output is below. Let me know if there is another place to see logs

      edit those were logs since I installed the OS. How to filter?

        I see no output pasted, but you probably need to run something like sudo dmesg | grep -i nvidia to find the issue.

        My guess is that the kernel modules build failed, and the Nouveau driver can’t load.

                Disable Secure Boot in your BIOS. It should load after that, but if not, just reinstall the driver package.

                The issue is in the lines with the keyword “taint” because the driver isn’t signed and cooperating with your Secure Boot setup.

                  Nonsense. The “taint” what happens when you load an untrusted or non-free licensed module. As you can see the module is loading just fine with secure boot enabled.

                  Would I have to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers or just run the install command again?

                  If so how do I remove them?

                The kernel log you posted appears to be from an X11 session. (Note the many instances of AppArmor allowing Xorg to do things.) You’ll probably need the Wayland logs if you want to troubleshoot Wayland.

                Unfortunately, I can’t guide you, since I’m not using Nvidia or Wayland.

          I pasted text but realized it was from several days ago, and there was thousands of lines from then.

          I wasn’t sure how to narrow down the results from more recently or just from last boot
