What I'm not sure at the moment is how to find out what process -1267 is.
The bugzillas referenced so far have been against sddm. Your issues
seem unrelated.
There have been fixes to sddm to address those issues. You may wish
to try sddm instead of gdm to
see if you still have issues. The most current sddm is still in
updates-testing. So, if you wan to give
it a try....
dnf --enablerepo updates-testing update sddm
systemctl --now enable sddm
The reboot....
Hi Ed, I issued the two commands and first one worked but the second
one didn't. The second command said it couldn't create the
display-manager symlink because it already existed and was linked to
gdm.service.
I then made the mistake of issuing the command systemctl disable gdm
and that blew Fedora out of the water. I rebooted but the display
manager wouldn't start.
I then used ctrl+alt+F2 to get a login prompt, logged in, and issued
the command systemctl disable display-manager and then systemctl
enable sddm and rebooted, but sddm would not start. I logged back in
again at a login prompt and issued the command systemctl status
display-manager and it said sddm was active but sddm-helper failed
with exit-11.
Hence at the moment I have switched back to gdm which runs fine.
I installed kdm to try that and the starting of plasma through kdm gets
the same failures as it does when started through gdm.

Steve
