Hey all, new to Linux so bear with me here.
I was on plasma wayland and I updated my Nvidia drivers to version 550.163.01 on my 3050 (confirmed after running the ‘nvidia-smi’ command in konsole) the other day, and I can only boot into the plasma x11 desktop environment. Whenever I try to to log into plasma wayland, the screen will go black for a second and then automatically return me to log in screen.
After running uname -r, my kernel version is 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64
The system runs okay on x11, but some programs don’t work as they should, and the whole system seems a little sluggish. Any ideas to get back into wayland?
I ran that command and here was the output:

The kernel log you posted appears to be from an X11 session. (Note the many instances of AppArmor allowing Xorg to do things.) You’ll probably need the Wayland logs if you want to troubleshoot Wayland.
Unfortunately, I can’t guide you, since I’m not using Nvidia or Wayland.
Disable Secure Boot in your BIOS. It should load after that, but if not, just reinstall the driver package.
The issue is in the lines with the keyword “taint” because the driver isn’t signed and cooperating with your Secure Boot setup.
Nonsense. The “taint” what happens when you load an untrusted or non-free licensed module. As you can see the module is loading just fine with secure boot enabled.
Would I have to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers or just run the install command again?
If so how do I remove them?
sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driverSecure boot is disabled and reinstalled using this command, no luck
