Hi,
Which configuration file identifies which display manager is
being used, and which configuration file identifies which desktop
that dm will launch?
The issue I have is, I have the Fedora Astronomy spin at F32
level. I think it is starting SDDM at boot time and defaulting to
start KDE. When I put on the system update two updates ago, the
"start menu" refused to display any entries when clicked on. There
was a subsequent system update after that, and when I put that on
KDE refused to start, so in order to get a running system I
eventually got the desktop to set its desktop drop down to Gnome
(Wayland), and was able to get Gnome to eventually start. The issue
this caused is now the desktop drop down will not show any entries
other then Gnome (Wayland) to be able to try and start KDE again.
I am running F32 in a Windows 10 hosted Virtualbox VM.
To see what Display Manager you're running.....
systemctl status display-manager
What desktops are available to sddm and other display managers are
located in
/usr/share/xsessions and /usr/share/wayland-sessions
Thanks Ed, that is exactly what I was looking for.
Using systemctl I was able to change the desktop to LightDM, and while
doing this found it is not a good idea to use systemctl to stop the
current DM before enabling and starting the new DM.
I've also used the dnf group install to reinstall the KDE Plasma
Workspaces, KDE Applications, KDE multimedia and KDE Office groups to
see if that rectifies the KDE issues.
The reinstall of all these KDE groups did not rectify the KDE issue, so
I've uninstalled all the KDE groups and I'll start with the KDE Plasma
Workspace group first to see how that goes, although having uninstalled
all the KDE Groups that were installed the Konsole app was still
installed, so I'm not sure all of KDE has actually been uninstalled.
I also had desktop icons in KDE for Thunderbird Daily and Firefox
Nightly and whatever the updates were that caused the KDE issues also
corrupted those two desktop entries so that they would not start the
corresponding applications.
It wasn't only the icons that were corrupted, the actual applications
were as well. I've reinstalled those and got access back to all my mails
again which was fortunate because I needed them to pay a bill.

Steve
