Bug ID: 381964
Summary: Invalid drivers error handling
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hello! I am in the unfortunate position of having the official propietary
driver completely broken.
But, today I decided to try to switch to the propietary driver...
What I expected to happen:
Somewhere it would fail.
When I tried this in Linux Mint (Cinnamon), it let me log in, but told me an
error occured when starting Cinnamon. This was the best experience so far.
When I tried this in Ubuntu, it simply made a login loop. Not a big deal.
What actually happened:
When I tried this in (Linux Mint) KDE, it didn't even show the login screen!
Neither could I switch to a TTY, so I had to use the GRUB2 menu to take me into
recovery mode (which was buggy as heck), and I was finally able to uninstall
the broken driver.
---------------------------------
I guess this is more of a feature request than a crash, but basically I'm
asking you (I don't know anything about developing a desktop environment
myself): Would it possible for KDE to handle broken drivers better?
Maybe like Linux Mint (Cinnamon) did? Without any issues apart from when I was
actually logged in to the system.
Or maybe like Ubuntu, which at least let me to the login screen so I could open
a TTY.
