With some recent SDDM updates, I started experiencing this intermittently despite enabling linger. After digging around for a while, the commenting out the following lines in /usr/lib/systemd/system/sddm.service seems to have cured the issue:
# Ordering #Conflicts=plymouth-quit-wait.service #After=systemd-user-sessions.service plymouth-start.service plymouth-quit-wait.service plymouth-quit.service systemd-logind.service #OnFailure=plymouth-quit.service These lines have to be commented out each time SDDM is updated as the service file is replaced with a new version that uncomments those lines. I am guessing that these line were added by Ubuntu/Kubuntu as the sddm.service is somewhat different from what I could find on the project page (https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/develop/services/sddm.service.in)? I still have "loginctl enable-linger sddm" in place, so need to test whether disabling linger causes the issue to return with those lines in sddm.service commented out. -- 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/1893302 Title: SDDM freezes on system boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1893302/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
