System didn't go past boot screen. Further checks suggested that there is no working graphics driver compatible with SDDM/KDE (XDM would start using VESA). $ lspci -nn 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTS 450 Rev. 2] [10de:1245] (rev a1) $ ubuntu-drivers devices == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.0 == modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001245sv00001458sd00003523bc03sc00i00 vendor : NVIDIA Corporation model : GF116 [GeForce GTS 450 Rev. 2] driver : nvidia-driver-435 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-driver-440 - distro non-free recommended driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin The modalias appears in apt show nvidia-driver-440. This is incorrect, this GPU is not supported by the 440 driver. I manually switched to 390 (which is listed as supported by Nvidia) and that works. This is also seen in the support list (/usr/share/doc/nvidia- driver-440/README.txt.gz).
