Ever since the nVidia 535 update, wayland wouldn’t login.
There would be a black screen and the mouse pointer would leave a trail when moved.
I never bothered troubleshooting and kept using X11.
But after the recent minor update in driver. I had a go again, only to realise that Krunner was actually working and was able to get things running. I soon figured that restarting plasma
plasmashell --replace
actually gets it to work again.
Is there a way to troubleshoot why plasma crashes on login only the first time.
Also note this line

I’m a bit of a novice here and I don’t understand what is going on. Can someone give me an explanation.
Also there weren’t any issues like this on the previous nVidia driver version. This issue began late last year when the driver version changed from 525.xx to 535.xx
Thanks for any inputs.
