I can confirm the sddm start issue after upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 16.04. From /etc/syslog: chdir( /var/lib/sddm ) failed for user: "sddm"
/var/lib/sddm was not existing in my case. So, I created it and adapted its permissions: sudo mkdir /var/lib/sddm sudo chown -R sddm:sddm /var/lib/sddm After that, I "service sddm restart" made sddm work again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to sddm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431332 Title: sddm not starting after upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1431332/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
