Bug ID: 447769
Summary: The wiki page/s about Wayland should include info
about Wayland logs, ways to troubleshoot and common
problems
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
An overview wiki page about Wayland under KDE, like
https://community.kde.org/Goals/Wayland, should include info about Wayland
logs, ways to troubleshoot and common problems.
Here I asked: Why are sessions breaking when starting from standby on Debian
with Wayland - why does this occur and prevent it? Which things (logs etc)
should I check or test to do so? https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/684498/233262
A solution to this issue could also be linked in an answer to that question.
I think common problems include for example issues with Nvidea drivers.
If there are no dedicated Wayland logs maybe there is a way to scan logs for
Wayland-related errors.
Helping people to quickly and correctly identify the problems they have with
Wayland would make things much better and easier for many.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to Wayland on KDE
2. Experience a problem
3. Try to do something about it (or identify what's causing the problem)
OBSERVED RESULT
No well-findable page that describes the first steps you should take to solve
(or at least identify) the problem/s.
EXPECTED RESULT
An overview page about Wayland in KDE that gives you steps or things to do for
troubleshooting depending on your problem and helps you identify the problem.
