Libwayland update causes Plasma desktop freeze on login
Hi,
after upgrading libwayland-* packages from backports Plasma desktop failing to start freezing
the system at login.
Downgrading the packages to the previous version everything goes back to normal.
These are the updated packages:
Upgrade: libwayland-cursor0:amd64 (1.21.0-1, 1.23.0-1~bpo12+1), libwayland-server0:amd64
(1.21.0-1, 1.23.0-1~bpo12+1), wayland-protocols:amd64 (1.31-1, 1.37-1~bpo12+1),
libwayland-egl1:amd64 (1.21.0-1, 1.23.0-1~bpo12+1), libwayland-bin:amd64 (1.21.0-1,
1.23.0-1~bpo12+1), libwayland-dev:amd64 (1.21.0-1, 1.23.0-1~bpo12+1), libwayland-client0:amd64
(1.21.0-1, 1.23.0-1~bpo12+1)
Searching for similar problems I found a debian bug (bug=1076729) and this article that seems to
reproduce the same problems I had:
"A Critical Bug In Libwayland Update Causes Plasma Desktop Freeze On Debian Sid/Trixie"
https://ostechnix.com/libwayland-update-causes-plasma-desktop-freeze-on-debian/
At the moment I am not able to try solutions such as rebuild KWin or other system packages.
If the problem also affects other systems, I hope the information can be useful.
thanks for the support
