Anyone know if there is a lightweight Qt-based LightDM greeter out there
anywhere?  I've switched to LightDM + slick-greeter, but it's Gtk-based.

The only Qt-based greeter that I can find in Fedora is the Deepin
greeter, which wants to pull in an entire desktop environment (and
wouldn't even log me in to Plasma which I gave it a quick try).

kdm should be fixed with this update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-cb657cac7d

But yeah, kdm is deprecated and sddm or something else is generally better 
to use for posterity.

kdm is broken in F30 and you're not going to get much attention since it is 
going to be
dropped.

Install the preferred DM for KDE, sddm or another DM and then from a ssh 
session or tty

systemctl --force enable sddm or whatever DM you're planning on using.  You 
*may* then
be able to
systemctl restart display-manager.service  and avoid rebooting

Is there a way to get my kde plasma desktop (or equivalent) back?  The 
login manager displays a warning message that the plasma desktop is not 
available and to select a new one or the default will be used, but there 
is no way to select a desktop from the login display.


KDM has been deprecated for a long time, and it looks like it's finally
become completely broken.

The recommended desktop manager for KDE is SDDM.  If you need crufty,
uncool, "you're doing it wrong!" functionality like remote desktops,
take a look at LightDM or gdm.

Check to see if the kdm.service or the sddm.service is running.  After I
updated I found that kdm was running.  You want sddm.

F29-F30 Upgrade With KDE Plasma Desktop Problem

[David Dembrow]

I have been using fedora with kde plasma desktop.  When I upgraded from 
fedora 29 to fedora 30 I lost my kde login manager as well as the kde 
plasma desktop.


Is there a way to get my kde plasma desktop (or equivalent) back?  The 
login manager displays a warning message that the plasma desktop is not 
available and to select a new one or the default will be used, but there 
is no way to select a desktop from the login display.
