After updating to 7.0.6 unable to open Sway

Hi, I recently updated to the Kernel 7.0.6, and I am no longer able to get a login screen and sway doesn’t start.

I use SDDM, and Sway with the open source Nouveau drivers. I do have Nvidia graphics card.

I am able to Ctrl +Alt + F3 to get into a TTY session.

I have found
“BUG:Kernel Null pointer deference , address 0000000000000000 journalctl.
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page”

SDDM is running, I can see it with htop.

But, running “glxinfo” outputs “Error: unable to open display”

I am able to go back to the previous kernel 6..19.14-200 FC43.86_64 and it works just fine.

Also:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
Results 128

Anyone have any documentation I can read or thoughts about next steps?

I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

You can start Sway from the new TTY with sway
And I huess report a bug on bugzilla

I guess I neglected to mention that when I do run sway via the tty is says KILLED and does not open.

I’m also unable to downgrade sway it appears.

Just looking around I have this exact same issue. 2441276 – kernel NULL pointer dereference: RIP: 0010:nvkm_gr_units+0x9/0x30 [nouveau]

Thanks for responding!
