After completing the fedora 24 upgrade on a fedora 23 system there was

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.
Should this get posted as a bug or is the kde login manager expected
to disappear with wayland?

It's now the sddm.service. I had the same problem. We all need the usual
"dnf install sddm, systemctl enable sddm; systemctl start sddm."
After I looked at a display-manager.service instance on one of my
remaining F23 systems I remembered that sddm was on the way:
[me@rigel ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
[Unit]
Description=Simple Desktop Display Manager
Documentation=man:sddm(1) man:sddm.conf(5)
Conflicts=getty@tty1.service
After=systemd-user-sessions.service getty@tty1.service
plymouth-quit.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sddm
Restart=always
#PrivateTmp=yes
[Install]
Alias=display-manager.service
It worked for me but that doesn't mean it solves the problem for everyone.

Mr Allman,
Thanks for the reply. I did not have sddm installed, I did have kdm (but without a link to display-manager). 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.
Regards,
