Used urpmi to update the packages, with no issues. Have been using this system for 2 hours now, with no issues to report.

Comment 9 Thomas Andrews 2025-04-30 17:27:26 CEST
MGA9-64 Plasma Wayland, same hardware as comment 8, server kernel. No issues to report. 

BTW, the advice in the wiki regarding changing kernel parameters for Plasma Wayland when using nvidia-current, written for when nvidia-current was version 535, appear to be no longer necessary, at least on this hardware, for this kernel. Kernel parameters on this system are as set by drakx11, with no manual editing, and I see no issues with Wayland and Plasma while using nvidia-current. 

Three tests, with no issues. Validating the update.
