Upon logging in to a wayland session, i immediately get a black screen with a error message on my monitor screen saying 'input not supported' and the first thing that came to mind was most likely a refresh rate issue, I logged into a x11 session and it was fine at 60hz, i tried swapping it to 144hz and i got the black screenw ith the input not supported error just like wayland, but then 120hz works just fine on x11. I'm assuming that wayland is automatically defaulting to 144hz refresh rate, is there any way I can change wayland's refresh rate to 60hz or 120hz?

what gpu?
@celest aurora what de/wm are you on?
rich mirage
gigabyte rtx 3060
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D'
pacman -Qs nvidia
pacman -Qs kernel
can you run these and send the outputs so i can see
celest aurora
<@1082445010693263481> what de/wm are you on?
plasma
celest aurora
see if nvidia-open-dkms works
also rn im on a x11 session
rich mirage
and then reboot

command not found

command not found
no
pacman -Rns nvidia-dkms
pacman -S nvidia-open-dkms
and then reboot
these commands
celest aurora
shit im stupid mb
rich mirage
prefix pacman with an escalation program
of your choice
like sudo, run0, or doas
don't forget to reboot after installing nvidia-open-dkms
once you boot up start the wayland version of plasma instead of x11

black screen input not supported
celest aurora
I can't my phone camera is too bad but it's just a black screen with my monitors default message saying input not supported
celest aurora
yeah I'm pretty sure I said that in the beginning
rich mirage
i don't know what it could be since the drivers seem to be loaded fine
celest aurora
my theory is it's something to do with it defaulting to 144hz refresh rate
rich mirage
can you try another wayland compositor and see?
celest aurora
no clue what that means
rich mirage
can you try another wayland compositor and see?
a lighter one would be just hyprland
for testing purposes
or labwc
pacman -S hyprland
and then launch into it from your display manager
super+m to quit out
(super is the windows key, if you don't know)
celest aurora
do you think my refresh rate theory is correct because I had a similar issue with windows
rich mirage
hyprland works
then it is
press super+m to quit
and then uninstall it with
pacman -Rns hyprland
celest aurora
done
rich mirage
idk where plasma stores it's configuration for your monitor settings and other things so
it might be in .config or .local/share or even system wide
~/.config/plasma
celest aurora
how do I change the config
rich mirage
just nuke it
royal iris
earlier i had him rm .config/kscreenrc and .local/share/kscreen so it should be default
celest aurora
nuke everything plasma related in .config
idk how to do that
rich mirage
use coreutils
specifically mv or rm
mv if you want to back them up instead of removingh
rich mirage
move anything related to plasma or kde to a -bak suffix
so if it was konsolerc it would be
mv konsolerc konsolerc-bak
celest aurora
rich mirage
read the output and see
most likely everything that starts with k
and anything named plasma*
celest aurora
this seems a bit overkill for just trying to change the refresh rate from 144hz to 120
rich mirage
i remembered that x11 worked, you can just go into the x11 session and change it there
and see if the wayland session works
celest aurora
and see if the wayland session works
it changes nothinb
no matter what I change the x11 refresh rate to Wayland just gives me the same issue of the black screen
celest aurora
@rich mirage im just gonna try buying a displayport cable and see if that changes anything, i use a 1.4 hdmi as of rn
rich mirage
kay
celest aurora
kay
my theory was right, it was the icky refresh rate
swapping to a displayport cable fixed my issue :D
rich mirage
... solved
