I have always used KDE as the display manager and desktop. I noticed a similar problem posted but none of its recommendations were appropriate for my system. I found the graphical.target set as the default (systemctl get-default). Then I noticed the graphical.target expects to have a display-manager.service but the display-manager.service file was missing. from the /etc/systemd/system directory. I copied the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service file from a fedora 23 system and enabled the service (systemctl enable display-manager.service). Started the service (systemctl start display-manager.service) and poof the graphical kde login manager and desktop returned. Well, first of all, /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service should *not* be a file, but a symbolic link. It should either link to /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service or /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm.service if you are using kdm. What does "systemctl status display-manager" return? Mr Greshko, Thanks very much for the correction. I did not look for symbolic links and I did not have sddm installed on my system. I did have a kdm.service file and enabling kdm creates the link as expected. I can use sddm if that is going to be the future, but I still prefer kdm - and with some advice from this list I can correctly use either one. The systemctl status display-manager command returns the following (before I added the display-manager.service file): [] display-manager.service Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) Regards, ---d.dembrow |
