I have run Sway on FreeBSD but now use mango and I just start them from the terminal. I've never had issues though they just work.

@justine @Tionisla @grahamperrin @trashheap not specialty attached to KDE, I was just curious how the new desktop installer would work out, preparing for a presentation Freebsd 15 in some time.

To get it working I will try mango, πŸ₯­

But the root cause is drm module not loading or matching as it seems

@justdude

desktop-installer is not the new desktop installer.

It's a port that was added more than sixteen years ago:

FreshPorts -- sysutils/desktop-installer: Quickly configure a FreeBSD desktop system

Desktop-installer is a post-install script to assist in setting up a FreeBSD desktop system using any of the mainstream desktop systems. It automatically installs essential software and configures subsystems such as dbus, CUPS, etc. for typical use.

@grahamperrin @justine @Tionisla @trashheap ouch….

I got confused by the recent installation instructions on freebsd main pages.
I do a test on wayland and mangowc using a solid looking instruction on codeberg for freebsd

Sorry to waste your time, I really thought it was a simple step to a working kde solution for the purpose of the presentation. I recheck what I used and do another go.

@justdude it was not a waste of time :-) I enjoy IT support and untangling things such as documentation.
