In Fedora with KDE. when i first boot up im presented with the log-in screen. After i enter the password and enter. There isnt a smooth transition like in windows or mac. The screen goes blank. Then the set boot up image set in KDE settings is shown the n the desktop.

Is there a way to make the transition smooth? Ikd is that related to the DE part where its loaded after auth?

did you install the nvidia drivers already? but short answer is no, probably not as smooth. you are seeing the hand off of SDDM to the KDE Wayland compositor

#

@wise gale

#

there are a couple of things to ensure that are done, then you can compare to see if it helps

#

sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf.d/wayland.conf

Paste this block:

[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen

write it out to file, ctrl o
exit, ctrl x

#

System Settings >
Colors and Themes >
Login Screen (SDDM) >
>Apply Plasma Settings...

#

reboot

#

also, for the possible missing flatpak icons before reboot you will probably see later, you can do this

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons && ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor ~/.local/share/icons/flatpak

the black screen should be almost instant, if even noticeable.. how long is it taking?

Like 2s then the selected there's splash screen. I haven't done the changes yet. Finishing up some dev stuff

ok, finger's crossed, but it may just be something that 'is what it is'

@devout condor sorry to bother. But is there a way to stop a window from poping up as focused when a compile runs? Every time the untiy editor when it tries to compile even if im in the code editor that is over the editor. The editor window just forces focus on it

you should be able to use a couple methods. there is Focus Stealing Prevention levels in

Windows Management>
Window Behavior> Focus

there are also powerful things called (Window Rules).

Focus options are just a matter of clicking and testing, but Window Rules are going to require some research or tutorials to utilize, generally.

I am still in the middle of an OS migration, so i have no reinstalled Unity yet, so i cannot directly test. soon though
