Hi there

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble) KDE Neon image from may 26, 2025.

 

After download this image and installing it, Wayland was working fine, not problems at all.

Then, after a system upgrade, if i choose Wayland from session manager, the system freezes and i can't boot with Wayland, only X11...

Before the update, the system was smooth, now it's really laggy....Like i said, i'm using Desktop image with Armbian Linux v6.12 KDE Neon (Ubuntu 24.04)

There's something wrong with the update 

 

Anyone knows why is this happening, and any turnaround to use Wayland again?

Hi, 

 

 Thanks a lot for your help. 👍

 

Indeed i'm using 6.12...

Where can i find vendor or edge kernel? 

In another PC's i use mainline kernels without problems, but i think that can't be used on arm system...

 

Once again, many thanks

Well yes and no. This depends in board family and how well support is matured. In case of rk3588 support is very basic. This is also an LTS kernel which means no new features will be available and only security fixes will be applied. Enhanced hdmi support is available in edge kernel and also in rockchip bsp which we call vendor.

 

If the system is accessible via terminal or ssh, use armbian-config to switch kernels. Otherwise - if available - download an image matching DE and kernel or use the build framework to build your own.

Hi, again,

Well, change to edge kernel, and no joy... Gonna try a vendor kernel...

 

Don't know if the problem is kernel related or files, since this happened when i just received the update...

Well other option is the upstream broke somehow. KDE neon is based on their testing branch so if there is a faulty package uploaded desktop breaks.

Though we won't dive into this since KDE is no officially supported desktop environment by us. We mostly do GNOME and XFCE only. We don't have resources to deal with more while we wish we would/could.

In the afternoon, I decided to look at dmesg.

There:

Switch to edge or vendor kernel (latter either with panthor overlay or proprietary mali blobs). current is a bad choice for desktop usage.

Thank you so much for your help and explaining how it should work! 

I tried all the cores that you ordered - it only worked on this:
#unnamed -a
Linux orangepi5-plus 6.16.4-edge-rockchip64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 28 14:34:51 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I put it like this:

@apt install linux-image-edge-rockchip64 linux-headers-edge-rockchip64

The old cores were not suitable because the wifi card 0002:21:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7925 refuses to run on cores less than 6.12.X

I bow low to you!

With the extraargs=cma=1G parameter, videos in the browser somehow load faster.
