     Three days ago I did a dnf system upgrade to apply all available Fedora updates. I have now tried to start Plasma under Xorg, but it now refuses to start with a crash in ksplashqml, and if I press ctrl-alt-delete to try to logout the ksmserver-greeter also crashes. Plasma under Wayland runs quite happily albeit without resolution scaling. Gnome under Wayland runs fine without scaling and Gnome under Xorg also runs fine. How do I determine why the apps are failing with Plasma under Xorg now?

Check the /var/log/Xorg.?.log files.

I'm currently logged in with Gnome user Xorg and in /var/log there is no Xorg files of any sort. Is the Xorg.?.log files stored elsewhere in F33 now?

Try looking in ~/.local/share/xorg
Thankyou, I found the log files there. Looking at xorg.0.log.old the only error I could find was an fsetmode error, but I'm not sure what that means when gnome with xorg runs quite happily.


What display manager are you using?  gdm, sddm, other?

Thanks Ed. I think I'm using gdm for my display manager. I've forgotten the command to find out because I don't use it regularly. Just a bit of additional information, after the last update nothing has changed and when the plasma start fails I tried to use alt-F2 to get to a login prompt to look at the Xorg log file but krunner also fails so it won't swap. All of the apps that are failing are all failing with a Segmentation Fault. I'll reply to Rex's thread but I am using Vmware Player to run Fedora.
Hi Ed, just further to this, I worked out what command to issue and I am indeed running gdm as my display manager.

regards,
Steve
