Wayland update and can't login

Hmm, just did an apt dist-upgrade and notice some wayland and x packages being upgrade. Upgrade went smooth with no errors but after a restart I can't login into xfce4-wayland.
Anybody else seeing issues?

If I switch to a tty and kill lightdm then startxfce4 --wayland the desktop starts right up so the startup and config files seem to be unaffected.

This has affect both labwc and wayfire.

Re: Wayland update and can't login

don't use Debian, but Xubuntu 24.04 (and xubuntudev PPA where is Xfce 4.20)
in apt log i see 22.1. upgraded about wayland only: xwayland:amd64 (2:23.2.6-1ubuntu0.1, 2:23.2.6-1ubuntu0.2)
and from lightdm to xfce4-wayland i still can login

if you try login from lightdm to xfce4-wayland, is any error in /var/log/lightdm/* ?

or as a last resort, maybe you can look to /var/log/apt/ what exact packages you upgraded and try downgrade some to previous version (one by one, if possible)  to find what exact package is problematic for you...
